The Portland Business Journal named Linfield President Miles K. Davis as one of its 2022 Executives of the Year. The annual award, given April 21 in a ceremony at the ballroom of Portland’s Sentinel Hotel, honors regional leaders based on critical strategy, guidance and management leading to exceptional performance.
“In a short amount of time, Miles Davis has changed the trajectory of Linfield University – creating new programs and reinvigorating the school,” said Candace Beeke, president and publisher of the Portland Business Journal.
As he finishes his fourth year, Davis has guided the university’s campuses through a steady stream of changes, including the conversion to Linfield University, the addition of graduate programs and the development of a $37 million science complex, among others.
Davis also serves as chair of the Oregon Alliance of Independent Colleges and Universities. He is a board member of the National Association of Independent Colleges and Universities and the Portland-based non-profit Self Enhancement, Inc.
