In addition to being the senior administrative officer for the university, Dengerink is co-chair of the Columbia River Crossing Project. He also is the board chairman of Clark United Providers and sits on the boards of Southwest Washington Medical Center and Columbia River Economic Development Council, and is a member of the Lewis and Clark Bicentennial Commemorative Committee.
