Meet the newest Board Member of the Miami County Community Foundation, Chance Doherty!
Chance Doherty is a lifelong resident of Miami County, Kansas, a third-generation family business owner, and a strong advocate for building a better community for future generations.
As President and third-generation owner of Doherty Steel, Chance is proud to continue his family’s legacy of operating and growing a business in the same community he has always called home. He believes successful local businesses have a responsibility that extends beyond their doors—creating opportunities, supporting local families, and investing in the long-term strength of the community.
Outside of work, Chance’s greatest priority is his family. He enjoys spending time with his wife and their three children, traveling and vacationing with family and friends, and making the most of their time together.
A lifelong Kansas City Chiefs fan, Chance also enjoys hunting, fishing, and spending time outdoors. When time allows, one of his favorite ways to get away is riding UTVs in the sand with family and friends.
Chance is honored to serve on the Miami County Foundation Board and sees the opportunity as another way to give back to the community that has been home to his family and business for generations.
“I believe we all want to see a stronger, better community, and that only happens when we share a common goal and each do our part to make it better every day. Miami County has always been my home. It’s where my family has grown, where we’ve built our business, and where we’re raising the next generation. I’m honored to have the opportunity to give back to a community that has given so much to my family and me, and I’m proud to do my part by serving on the Miami County Foundation Board.”
