Eric S. Dobkin

2017-Present

Honorary Director

Before his retirement in March 2016, Eric Dobkin was an advisory director at the Goldman Sachs Group, where he had also served a term as Managing Director. In reporting on his retirement, the New York Times referred to him as “the father of the modern I.P.O.” In addition to his distinguished service to SAR, Dobkin is a member of the board of governors of The Museum of Arts and Design in New York. He lives with his wife, Barbara, in Pound Ridge and Manhattan, New York. Since 2001, Eric and Barbara Dobkin have supported one of SAR’s Native artist positions, the Eric and Barbara Dobkin Native Artist Fellowship for Women.

In recognition of Eric S. Dobkin’s nearly two decades of service and extraordinary generosity to SAR, on August 15, 2015, the board of directors formally named the SAR boardroom the “Eric S. Dobkin Boardroom.”
