Tim Dockery Recognized in Association for Healthcare Philanthropy’s Forty Under 40 List
| Tim Dockery, J.D., executive director of principal and planned gifts for the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), has been selected for the inaugural Association for Healthcare Philanthropy (AHP) Forty Under 40, which recognizes future leaders within the health care philanthropy community.
“I’m grateful for this recognition and want to say thank you to the mentors who have invested in my career thus far,” Dockery said. “I look forward to continuing to work with many more generous Arkansans who are helping improve health care in our state.”
Dockery joined UAMS in 2014 as director of planned giving, and was promoted to executive director in 2016. He developed and initiated the 1879 Society, which recognizes all donors who have made or plan to make estate gifts to UAMS. Society members have committed $43 million in future gifts to support education, research and clinical care. He is past president of the Central Arkansas Estate Council and a board member of the Arkansas Charitable Gift Planning Council.
“Tim is a valued and highly respected leader in the higher education, health care and nonprofit sectors in Arkansas,” said Brigitte Grant, UAMS interim vice chancellor for Institutional Advancement. “His style is one of servant leadership – one that demonstrates professionalism and a personal dedication to his community.”
Dockery was recognized at the 2018 AHP Annual International Conference, held Oct. 17-20 in San Diego.
