As we bid farewell to Diane at the end of this month, we reflect on her immense contributions to the Fairfax Food Council since she began working here in 2019. Diane has been a cornerstone of this coalition, dedicated and passionate about improving our local food system.
Her unwavering commitment has left a lasting impact on our community. From supporting the Council through the development of its strategic plan and recent structural changes, to fostering valuable partnerships, Diane's work has significantly advanced our mission. Her expertise and enthusiasm have inspired us all, making the Fairfax Food Council stronger and more effective in our pursuit of an equitable local food system that produces and provides access to nutritious, sustainable, and affordable food for everyone.
Diane will be greatly missed, not only for her professional achievements but also for her warmth and camaraderie. As she embarks on this new chapter, we extend our heartfelt gratitude and best wishes for her retirement. We have no doubt that she will continue to bring her passion and dedication to whatever comes next.
