Diana Black
Vice President & Board Member

“Hope is contagious.  I caught the fever the first time I was introduced to ODBI, its co-founders and board members.  Now I’m an incurable optimist having met our ODBI grads.  Challenges?  Sure.  But watch what happens when you empower a youth through life coaching to have a vision, set and achieve goals, and create a plan for their success.  No mountain is too high!”

Diana earned a degree in Computer Science from Indiana University. Combining her technical and writing skills, she is a published songwriter, author, cartoonist, and illustrator. She brought nonprofit experience in community development to ODBI when the organization was being founded. She has been ODBI’s vice president, operations officer, grant writer, and volunteer coordinator since January 2011.
