As a healthcare professional and servant leader, serving on boards has been a way to give back to the community. In this role, her passion is collaborating and leading initiatives which ensure that communities have safe, healthy and equitable livable spaces. Her board service includes the Wisconsin Center for Nursing (which engages healthcare organizations, academic programs and government agencies to ensure a competent and diverse nursing workforce) and a new appointment to the AARP WI Executive Council.

Miss Barbara Smith has significantly impacted her community over the years. She serves on the Dominican Center's Board, the Resident Advisory Council for Housing for Community Development Alliance, and is active in Providence Baptist Church and the Wisconsin General Baptist State Convention Women’s Auxiliary.

Her work reflects a deep commitment to addressing systemic health disparities and ensuring underserved communities have the tools they need to thrive.
Beyond her professional achievements, Diane's dedication to community service is profound. A proud member of the Milwaukee North Sunrise Rotary Club, Diane has served as a two-time Past President and currently holds a District 6270 leadership role as an Assistant District Governor.
