Rachel Pappert Docekal, MBA, Ed.D. 
CEO, Hanley Foundation 

After serving as CEO of Hanley Foundation from 2010-2014, Rachel Pappert Docekal reassumed the role of Chief Executive Officer in March of this year, overseeing board and donor relations while creating strategies to support Hanley’s life-saving programs and expansion initiatives. Hanley Foundation’s mission is to eliminate addiction through prevention, advocacy, treatment, and recovery support. 

“My superpower is strategy,” Docekal explains. “I have an MBA, and my doctorate is in Organizational Leadership, but what drives me is the ability to serve and have a positive impact. For the better part of my career, I have worked for nonprofit organizations. I bring a business approach to critical, mission-based work.” 

“At Hanley, we educate, change minds and save lives. Our leadership team is focused on what is happening with young people’s mental health locally, statewide and nationally. Our experts work with nearly 100,000 students, parents and teachers each year focusing on youth mental health and substance use disorder prevention. Our goal is to help as many young people as possible, teaching them to cope with life’s challenges in a way that is productive, and helps them to work through the problem, not create a secondary issue.”
