Gail Hovland

Major Gifts Officer

Gail enjoys using her natural networking skills to connect with people who want to support Bethany missions initiatives, the BGU student body, and campus updates and improvements. She’s held a variety of positions in her career, including multiple-hotel manager, restaurant manager, and church secretary. Her favorite job has been as homeschooling teacher for her two daughters—McKenna, a BGU Alum (as of May 2023), and Isabella, who is still in school. Gail has also dabbled in radio and TV, speech and theater, and been a CEO of her own baking business. To relax, she travels with husband John (for business as well as non-business trips), and loves a concert in any form. Fun fact—her networking skills enabled her to invite Peter Furler of the Newsboys to play a personal concert in her living room! If she has free time, she does scrapbooking, quilting, and baking.
