Dana was born and raised in Belleville, Illinois, and joined Allsup as an entry level receptionist in December 2000. Since that time, she rapidly advanced in the company, managing several departments responsible for servicing Allsup’s claimants. She served as an account manager for some of our largest national clients. Over the years, she designed and implemented several continuous improvement initiatives to produce operational savings, increased year over year sales, and developed tools and production metrics to help drive consistent team results.
In April 2019, she joined the ACS team as a Strategic Consultant and Program Manager, helping leadership set the direction of our organization based on the vision of our founder. Over the past few years, her primary focus has been on strategic planning, human resources, and program development for our partner organizations. She enjoys educating others on the importance of measuring outcomes and driving decisions based on data. As Director – Strategic Initiatives and Program Operations, she will lead the efforts alongside leadership to develop strategic goals and enact long-term strategies to strengthen ACS into the future.
She graduated with honors from Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, with a bachelor’s degree in corporate communications and is a certified professional through the Society of Human Resource Management (SHRM-CP).
“My focus with Allsup Charitable Services is to produce strategic recommendations, proactive initiatives, and creative solutions for our partner nonprofit organizations in the Metro-East area,” she said.
