Dorothy Bush Koch, known as Doro, is a Houston, Texas, native who currently lives in Bethesda, Maryland. She is the daughter of President George H.W. Bush and Barbara Bush and is married to Bobby Koch, president and CEO of Wine Institute.

Koch is the author of My Father, My President: A Personal Account of the Life of George H. W. Bush, which was published by Warner Books in October 2006. It is a daughter’s memoir of her extraordinary father, who happened to become the 41st President of the United States. Koch is involved in various community activities. She serves on the board for the National Rehabilitation Hospital in Washington, DC, where she formerly worked in the Development Office. The hospital specializes in treating people with physical disabilities caused by spinal cord and head injuries, stroke, arthritis, amputation, multiple sclerosis, post-polio syndrome and other neurological and orthopedic conditions.

Koch also has an interest in education and serves on the board for the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy. The foundation’s mission is to establish literacy as a value in every family in America by helping every family in the nation understand that the home is the child’s first school, that the parent is the child’s first teacher and that reading is the child’s first subject. The foundation supports the development of family literacy programs where parents and children can learn and read together.

Koch is the founder of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy Maryland Initiative, which raises money to support family literacy programs all over the state of Maryland.

A daughter, Doro Bush Koch writes in her New York Times best-selling book My Father, The President, may not have either the expertise or objectivity of a historian . . . but a historian doesn't know a father the way his daughter does. In this highly singular, personal perspective of her presidential father, George Herbert Walker Bush, Bush Koch speaks about his leadership qualities that contributed to his success in the political arena: his enduring ability to lead during times of strife, the humility and modesty that drew loyalty from people of all walks of life (including world leaders and former political foes) and the optimism that fueled his perspective on his country and the people in it. With humorous and moving anecdotes, Bush Koch pulls back the curtain on a richly layered life guided by family, faith and friendship. ...less

Most of the U.S. saw President George H. W. Bush as a statesman and leader, someone perpetually on the world stage. But, as the daughter of the 41st president of the U.S., Doro Bush Koch was close to the man the cameras and reporters never saw: a father, a man possessed of a strong personal convictions, yet whose humility runs deep. In a unique presentation based on her best selling book My Father, My President, Koch engages the audience in a highly personal and candid conversation about the George H.W. Bush that few people saw. Opening herself up to questions, Koch, at once charming and disarming, draws back the political curtains to reveal her father in anecdotes that show his leadership style, his endless sense of fun and humor, and his ability to connect emotionally with those around him. Audiences discover what many of the world leaders, politicians and journalists Koch interviewed for her book already knew: that George H. W. Bush was a savvy politician and effective leader while remaining humble, kind and generous. ...less

Leaders are first and foremost givers, sharing time, resources and vision as they inspire others to action. And Doro Bush Koch should know: for her family, "giving back" is more than an obligation, it's a part of their daily lives. Her family's tradition of volunteerism informed Bush Koch's own philanthropic endeavors. She established the Maryland Family Literacy Initiative, as well as other national and local charities. Long before her father became the 41st president, he instilled in Bush Koch the message that serving others is not limited to holding office or working with charitable causes. It is also about small, everyday gestures, the little things you do that make a difference to someone else. Through inspirational stories and moving anecdotes, Bush Koch illustrates how ...less
