Board Member -  Ms. Donna Warhover

Donna and her husband Bill live in Miles, Iowa, where Bill serves as pastor of First Presbyterian Church. She and Bill lived in St. Louis until 1999 when they moved to Dubuque. Donna served as the director of admissions for the University of Dubuque Theological Seminary from 2000 until 2006. In her position at the seminary she met several Camp Wyoming campers and counselors that were discerning a call to seminary largely due to the ministry they experienced at camp. Donna’s personal experience at Camp Wyoming was last summer when she served as a volunteer for a week. She saw first-hand how the camp experience was influential in shaping the faith of the campers.
Currently Donna is the director of the preschool program for the Family Literacy Program at Clinton Community College and enjoys working with children and their families that originate from other countries. Her hobbies include kayaking, organic gardening, vermi-composting (yep, she’s a worm farmer), reading (latest favorite “Three Cups of Tea” by Greg Mortensen), cooking (especially the great food harvested from her garden), and finding ways to be more “green” in her everyday life.
Donna and Bill have three grown children but bemoan the fact that they and their families all live at least six hours away, especially because that makes it harder to see their three wonderful grandchildren! They think they have succeeded in turning their five year old grandson into a kayaker too!
She serves on the Christian Education Committee of her church and enjoys teaching Sunday School and Wednesday School (an afternoon program for kids in her community). Donna participates in a mentoring program called Kids Hope USA and loves meeting with her child one hour each week.
Donna’s most recent passion comes as a result from a trip to Ghana, Africa this past year. She and Bill traveled with a group of seven others from the Dubuque Seminary to strengthen ties with Trinity Seminary in Ghana and the Presbyterian Church of Ghana. While there they visited their World Vision child. It was a life changing experience that has motivated her to apply to be a Child Ambassador within the World Vision organization. She hopes to return to Ghana in the near future to learn more about the work World Vision and other humanitarian organizations like Heifer International and Doctors without Borders are doing in that country.
