Daniel J. Rogers Daniel J. Rogers, CPA, an accounting professional with nonprofit audit experience, is the new chief financial officer at the Clark College Foundation. Prior to joining the organization, Rogers worked for the Moss Adams firm as an audit manager. He is a licensed Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in both Washington and Oregon. The Washougal, Wash., resident is especially familiar with the Clark College Foundation as he has worked on the foundation’s audit for the past seven years. "It’s great to come back and work with my alma mater," said Rogers.

I very much wanted to be part of the foundation team." Established in 1973, the Clark College Foundation is a nonprofit, tax-exempt public charity. It serves as the fundraising arm of Clark College to support student access to educational programs and services.
