Join us for an open forum discussion with our candidates running for Westerville City Council this fall. There are three open seats and five candidates running. This event is open to the public. RSVP to attend is not necessary. The moderator of the Forum will be Beth Thomas, CEO, Change 4 Growth and the 2018 Westerville Area Chamber's Business Person of the Year.
Participating candidates include:
DIANE CONLEY: Diana (Diane) Conley has worked and volunteered in Westerville for 25 years. Diane and her husband, John, have a son, John, and two very spoiled dachshunds, Brutus and Buckeye.
As a lifelong educator, Diane taught elementary school grades in Reynoldsburg before coming to Westerville in 1994 as an administrator. She was the assistant principal at Huber Ridge Elementary before moving to McVay Elementary as principal. She was promoted to the district administrative team with responsibilities of overseeing teaching and learning district wide. Diane retired from Westerville City Schools as the Chief of Academics. She then moved to higher education as an adjunct professor in the Department of Education at Ohio Dominican University.
Diane has a 25-year history of involvement in the Westerville community. Activities include the Westerville Education Foundation Board, Leadership Westerville Board and co-instructor of Leadership Today. Diane attended the Westerville Fire Academy and was a member of CART. More recently Diane has been involved with the Westerville Sunrise Rotary (President 2015-16) and the Sunrise Rotary Foundation (President 2018-19) as well as serving as Rotary District 6690 Membership Chair (2017-19). Diane joined the Westerville Parks Foundation Board in 2014 and is serving her second year as Chair. Diane also is on the Westerville for Honor Flight Committee and has been a guardian for veterans during three flights to Washington, DC.
Diane’s love for the Westerville community began soon after being hired by the school board. The positive community spirit, the proud heritage, the can-do attitude of the citizens, as well as Uptown and the numerous parks impressed her immediately and became a part of who she is and wants to be.
Diane’s pride in being a Westerville citizen, love for the community, and a desire to guide our city into the future are just a few reasons she decided to run for Westerville City Council.
