As someone who has been involved with the not-for-profit center for some years, Dione has always impressed me with her ability to set strategic imperatives and then break them down into easily digestible and actionable action points. 

After her successful stint with the Vernon Chamber of Commerce, it was with some anticipation that I met with her to talk about her role at the helm of The Okanagan Science Center. As ever, she was lucid in her explanation of what the Center was about, where it was going and how they were going to help the community be part of the STEM revolution.
