“Leadership is not about being in charge.
It is about taking care of those in your charge.” — Simon Sinek
"We (HASPC) are deeply grateful for the leadership and expertise Diane Arms has brought to our work. Within her very first month of partnering with us, Diane secured critical funding that immediately strengthened our ability to serve the community.
Beyond fundraising, Diane has a remarkable ability to quickly identify gaps, connect the dots, and leverage the skills of those around her. She doesn’t just see opportunities, she helps us move from ideas into action with clarity and momentum.
Equally important, Diane is an outstanding thought partner. She asks the right questions, challenges us to think bigger, and brings the kind of strategic insight that makes collaboration both effective and energizing.
Because of Diane’s guidance and support, HASPC is operating with greater confidence, stronger partnerships, and a clearer path toward long-term sustainability. We look forward to our continued partnership with her."
— Christina Eyman, Co-Chair, Houston Area Suicide Prevention Coalition (HASPC)
