Background

About Doug Aason

Described by many as a “relationship man,” Doug Aason is a man passionate for changing lives and making a positive impact in his community. A successful entrepreneur, Doug has started and run a number of his own businesses including a Marketing company in Costa Rica which grew to incorporate a staff of 110 full time employees. After returning to Vancouver, Doug spent seven years working at Salvation Army Harbor Light alcohol and drug treatment centre, before taking on the role of Director of Community Investment at the Greater Vancouver Foodbank Society, helping to build financial support to a new level. He describes the most rewarding part of his job as “witnessing the profound impact we can have on changing people’s lives for the better.” A kind hearted man with a desire to make a difference, and a strong knack for story-telling, Doug is an inspiration for those he works with. In his free time, Doug enjoys spending time outdoors fishing for the elusive “big one,” desperately hoping his golf game will improve, and most importantly spending time with his beautiful daughters and loving wife.
