“Diana Shay is a gifted Townsend leadership Program Director who is deeply concerned about people’s growth. What sets Diana apart from many is her continued desire for more personal growth, herself. Diana was a member of a TLP team for four years prior to becoming a TLP Director and she lives the thought that you cannot take people any farther than you have come yourself. I am blessed to have witnessed Diana’s transformation from participant to leader in this world and I count it an honor to co-lead a team with her this year. For those looking for someone who can draw out your ‘deeper waters,’ look to Diana Shay to get you to the next level in your personal growth!” ~ Jeff Carroll
