DONNA HAYS (EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR) Donna Hays enters her 19th athletic season with the Bengals. She continues in her role as the Executive Director of the Bengal Athletic Boosters & Sport Clubs. Donna is a natural fit to lead the B.A.B. She was raised in Pocatello and has been a Bengal fan since she was 8 years old. Hays interacts daily with ISU’s most visible boosters and is always thinking of creative ways to raise funds for student-athlete scholarships. Hays oversees all fund raising events for the athletic department and helps cultivate sport specific gifts for all sport clubs. She is extremely proud of the recent renovation of the Jared Allen Strength & Conditioning Center and the football locker room renovation that was completely funded by former football players and Bengal fans.  She is currently working on additional projects to help benefit all student-athletes.
