After more than two decades of leadership experience in diverse sectors including the military, healthcare, and education, Douglas Frazier, executive director of dining services at George Washington University, has learned at every stage of his career that taking care of his team is the most important ingredient for success.
"In every organization I've been part of, we conduct annual satisfaction surveys for clients, customers, and employees," Frazier said. “Along the way, I’ve learned that if I take care of my people, they will take care of the clients and customers.”
Born in Buffalo, New York, Frazier moved several times as a child due to his family’s Army background, eventually attending the University at Buffalo, before joining the Army himself. He finished college at Jamestown Business College where he earned an associate degree in accounting and a bachelor’s in business administration, later earning his master’s in business administration at Fitchburg State University.
