"I worked with Diane at both the Institute for Emerging Issues and at the North Carolina Sustainable Energy Association. I enjoyed working with Diane on many projects at both organizations and was always impressed by her skills with facilitating important and sometimes difficult discussions among diverse groups of stakeholders. Diane is able to recognize critical opportunities and barriers to deploying clean energy and improving the environment. After helping identify the issues, she effectively managed a team of communications professionals to get key stakeholders to understand why those issues were so important."

GLOBAL DIRECTOR, POLICY AND ADVOCACY - INGERSOLL RAND
"Diane is one of the smartest, hardest-working, best team members I have ever worked with. She would be an asset to any group, and was particularly helpful to a group of senior agency officials who tended to see only the big picture, not always the important details that needed attention."
