ARS Board of Directors

Nancy Rauch Douzinas has been President of the Rauch Foundation, whose mission focuses on environment, young children, and leadership, since 1990. Under Dr. Douzinas' leadership, the Rauch Foundation has sought to be a catalyst for systemic change for the benefit of Long Island's disadvantaged children and families, its environment, and the development of civic and non-profit leadership.

Prior to 1998, Dr. Douzinas maintained a private practice as a family therapist and worked as a psychologist in clinical and research positions in New York City and Long Island clinics and hospitals. From 1992 to 1998 she was a program associate with The Ackerman Institute for The Family in New York City.

As a Board Member of the Regional Plan Association, Dr. Douzinas is keenly interested in the impact that larger systems, such as transportation, have on people and places. In 1998, she accompanied several Long Islanders interested in smart growth on a trip to Milwaukee. She then became a founding member of Sustainable Long Island, an organization dedicated to promoting the environment on Long Island, and served as its first chairperson. She graduated from Smith College and received a master's degree and a doctorate in Community Psychology from New York University.
