A four-year letterwinner at Georgia Tech (1996-00), Donehew left her mark as a Yellow Jacket on and off the court. She helped Tech to a WNIT postseason appearance, while setting the program record with eight made three-pointers in a game twice and still owns the record for three-pointers made in a single season with 86 in 1998-99. She was a two-time academic all-ACC and CoSIDA academic all-district, and was awarded the ACC Postgraduate Scholarship in 2001. In 2013, Donehew was selected as Georgia Tech’s ACC Legend.
Donehew has dedicated her career to furthering the game of women’s basketball and is currently the longest serving leader of the major women’s basketball stakeholder positions. In July 2014, she was named the executive director of the WBCA, becoming only the third person to lead the organization in its 40-plus year history. Donehew continues to impact the game, serving on numerous boards and committees and was co-founder of the Pat Summitt Foundation. After graduating from Georgia Tech, Donehew served as a graduate assistant at the University of Tennessee under legendary head coach Pat Summitt. She has worked at both the collegiate and professional levels as she was executive vice president of the Atlanta Dream.
