Donna McAleer graduated West Point in 1987, and served as an Army officer in a variety of leadership positions in Germany. She left the service in 1991 to pursue an MBA at the Darden Graduate School of the University of Virginia and a career in the private sector.


In February 2000, she resigned her corporate position and moved to Park City, Utah, to begin an intensive training regimen.

As a Bobsled Driver, she finished 4th in Olympic trials.


Wanting to give back to her community, Donna became the Executive Director of the People’s Health Clinic, a non–profit organization based in Park City. In this capacity, she led its strategic business model transition and financial turnaround, ensuring the organization’s capability to provide quality medical and health care for the uninsured. She is a PSIA and ACE Level 2 ski instructor at Deer Valley Ski Resort, and serves on the Board of Directors of the Professional Ski Instructors of America – Intermountain Division.


Actively involved in the West Point community, she serves as Class President and is an Admissions Field Representative. She was elected to the Board of Directors of the West Point Association of Graduates as well as to the West Point Women’s Network. She is an advisor to West-Point.org. She is also involved in several organizations including Journeys Within Our Communities, a non-profit she helped initiate to assist a school and orphanage in Siem Reap, Cambodia.


An avid outdoor enthusiast with a particular passion for skiing, snowshoeing, mountain biking, hiking, golfing and traveling, Donna lives in the mountains of Park City, Utah with Ted, her husband, Carlyn Ann, her daughter , and Col (ret.) Thayer, their dog.
