Progressive Leadership For All

In 1995, Dowling followed in his father's footsteps by being elected to TLMI's Board of Directors. At that time, he was offered some advice to help him during his tenure on the Board: "Keep your mouth shut and stay close to the door," he was told. Evidently, he didn't listen to this advice, as he was elected president of TLMI and served in this capacity in 2001 and 2002. He is now serving in the role as past president, continuing his leadership legacy in TLMI.
