Meet New Director
Robert L. Doyle III
Robert L. Doyle, III was appointed as the
Division Director for DVI on June 8, 2009
replacing Cindy Lovell who retired on May 31. Chicago native
Doyle is excited about his new position. Despite the
challenges facing the state, Robert is looking forward to
leading the DVI team. Robert added how pleased he is to
lead an agency which employs people who are committed
and passionate about their work. One of his primary initiatives
is to foster a positive and creative atmosphere where
communication and morale are valued and everyone realizes
their piece of the puzzle. "I'm people focused and oriented. I
am excited to come to work and want that same spirit to be
carried and felt by everyone".
Doyle would also like to expand the use of technology and
data-based decision making to enhance DVI's services to
consumers. He values sound budgeting, strategic planning
and goal centered outcomes. Describing his management
style as "inclusive" and "open to feedback", Doyle intends to
use his background in government and the private sector to
review the current organizational structure with an eye
towards evaluating the effectiveness and efficiency of the
agency. Members of Delaware's blind community give Doyle
high marks for his efforts to date. State Rehabilitation Council
co-chair Debbie Bridell stated, "I am most impressed with
Robert Doyle. He comes from a varied background of
education and business, making him excellent for the position
of director. Being on a number of committees and councils, I
have had several opportunities to meet
