Ivar’s president, hospitality industry leader, presents Burtenshaw Lecture

About the event

Bob Donegan, president of Ivar’s, will present “Ivar and Ivar’s: How Our Flounder’s Quirky Hospitality Lessons Have Worked for 80 Years” during the annual Burtenshaw Lecture on the Washington State University Pullman campus.

The public is invited.

The presentation will be live streamed at https://youtu.be/k1n0DZSLrgY.

Donegan will share his expertise in helping to lead Ivar’s seafood restaurant since 1997. He joined the company as the chief financial officer and was asked by his partners to become the president on 9/11 when another of their partners died. Since then, the company’s employment, store count and revenues have tripled. The company continues to be a favorite among consumers and was named for having the “Best Seafood” in Evening Magazine’s 2018 viewer poll.
