As president and CEO of Des Moines University, Angela Franklin has led the medical school through one of the most significant changes in its history: Building a new campus west of its current location near downtown Des Moines.

On the Nonprofit Storytellers Podcast, Franklin talks about the Purple and Proud Campaign, what presenting such a large vision to the board was like, and how she handled naysayers. On the podcast, you'll find a full interview that includes the following:

• How she approached her first year as president

• How she walked through a mission, vision, and value process for DMU

• Her approach to public criticism when the university announced their plans

• How she lead the board and campus through the process

• How she's telling the story through communications and fundraising
