Diane Strzelecki

Diane Strzelecki ("z" is silent) started as our new Administrative  Assistant/Communications Specialist on Feb. 15. She will work closely with Rev. Arlene Christopherson, Dir. of Connectional Ministries and Anne Marie Gerhardt, Director of Communications. Diane will be responsible for special publications, brochures, Annual Conference media support, web content, social media, and other communication projects.

Diane comes to the NIC with more than 20 years of experience in communications, most recently as marketing/public relations coordinator for a public library district. She has a bachelor's degree in communications from Northwestern and a master's degree in writing/rhetoric from DePaul.

Diane has been a member of Toastmasters for about 4 years and is on track to achieve Distinguished Toastmaster in 2020. In her spare time, she enjoys horseback riding and competing in Western Pleasure horse shows. Diane lives in Cary, Ill. with her husband Dave and daughters Aimee (20) and Heather (16).

"We are pleased to have Diane join our team," said the Rev. Arlene Christopherson. "She brings a strong background in communication and gifts in social media that will enhance the work we do to support our churches and the work of the annual conference."
