Doug Wells Joins Board of Directors

We are very pleased to continue building out the strength of SVP Portland’s Board of Directors with the addition of Doug Wells as incoming Treasurer.

With nearly three decades of nonprofit experience and a decade in the private sector, Doug is currently a nonprofit Principal at Clifton Larson Allen, a national professional services firm. Prior to joining CLA, Doug was the National Director of Strategic Execution for the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which included leading financial services for more than 1,100 member organizations and $2.75B in assets. Doug has also been CFO/COO for Children’s Institute as well as Oregon Ballet Theatre.

Doug brings deep Board experience, as well as a focus on children and education in the context of social and racial justice that began many years ago. With 30 years in Portland and a strong network of relationships, he has served on multiple nonprofit boards, including chairing the boards of Outward Bound, Parents for Public Schools, and the Oregon State Quality Education Commission. He currently also serves as the Treasurer of the Board for Our Just Future, an organization working towards racial, housing and economic justice in Multnomah County. Since joining SVP as an Investor Partner in early 2024, Doug has been a key contributor to our finance team. In Doug’s own words, “I’ve worked in and around SVP for over 10 years, and I’m excited to join the Board and engage at a deeper level with our shared commitment to our community.”

Doug’s expertise in strategic planning, financial leadership, and governance, coupled with his collaborative spirit, makes him an incredible addition to SVP’s leadership team. Please join us in welcoming Doug to the Board!
