Drew Hagen
Board Member“Volunteering with The Giving Exchange touched our hearts more than we ever thought possible.”
The first time Drew went to Kenya with his wife Susan, he couldn’t have predicted how it would change his life. “Being with the kids and seeing the direct impact of the projects TGE is doing resets our compasses and reminds us of what’s really important in life. It’s so meaningful to be part of something like this. Even before we leave, we’re already counting the days until we can come back.” Making a difference in people’s lives has always been important to Drew. He’s passionate about philanthropy and giving back to communities in need. It’s a big part of his personal and professional life, and a foundational principle of Invision Communications (IVC), the audience engagement company he co-founded with Rod Mickels in 1991. It’s no accident that IVC’s motto is “Be great. Do good. Have fun.” As IVC’s Chief Culture Officer, Drew has made sure that giving back is an integral part of the company’s fabric. In addition to being a board member of The Giving Exchange, Drew also is proud to sit on the boards of the Good Tidings Foundation and Operation USA where he does much good on the local and national levels. “Giving your time and really getting to know the people you’re helping and seeing the impact you can have on so many people is incredibly life-affirming.” Drew is currently counting down the days until he’s back in Kenya.
