Bio
Jim Wilson
Diana has proven to be an extremely capable and productive business development executive by virtue of her involvement with a rapidly-growing, professional association. As a member of the Association for Strategic Planning Annual Conference Committee, Diana delivered outstanding results for several of the years during which I served either as Chair or Co-Chair. Her presence on the team meant that I could count on excellent performance within her portfolio, whether that was individual registration, corporate participation, or corporate sponsorship. Diana goes the extra distance to research and recommend solutions to problems that stymie others. She brings high energy, discipliine, creativity and a very high standard of performance.
Bob Bell
One of the best at connecting potential partners, whether or not there is a direct benefit to her. Business Development work would benefit greatly from her extensive contacts and ability to identify and exploit potential partnerships. Diana can see the possibilities that most others would miss or fail to pursue.
