Bio
Watch Diane's award acceptance speech (YouTube, 4/29/12)
Barbara E. James, Project Director, Texas Homeless Education Office shared:
I have known Ms. Nilan for about 15 years and enthusiastically endorse her presence in your community. Diane was keynote speaker at the Texas Homeless Network conference and was very well received by attendees.
Her list of successes is endless and her passion for homeless kids is unrivaled.
She has made a personal commitment to service that most of us can only dream about…I would encourage you to work with neighboring districts as well—her message needs to be spread as far and wide as possible!
