Director’s Opportunity Network
Make the Unexpected Possible
The Director’s Opportunity Network (DON) is an opportunity fund that gives Executive Director Dr. Amanda Bosh the flexibility to invest in new ideas, programs or opportunities that enhance astronomical exploration, education or outreach at Lowell Observatory.
