MEET THE BOARD


DIANE J. BAUER

Diane worked as a pension specialist in the Benefit Department at CNH Industrial for 18 years, three of which were in the supervisor position. Diane’s business training in public speaking, organization, networking, and technical skills have greatly enhanced CFSA. Diane is a new student in the study of the Thai language, fully endorsing the soon-to-be requirement that every Board member learn Thai. Diane’s education and her on-going study of Scripture bring much needed skill and knowledge to CFSA. Added to that are her world travel experiences all of which qualify her for her position on CFSA’s Board of Directors.
