Bio
Lorin Ditzler
I've had the pleasure of working with Dayna as a board member of the Iowa Women's Foundation, both during her time as Interim Executive Director and then after her move to the permanent ED position. She is patient, diligent and resourceful, and has moved a struggling organization forward measurably in her short time with us. I feel confident that the foundation is moving in the right direction with Dayna in charge!
