Diane Steinke

Diane Steinke, Office Administrator, first became familiar with Leadership Lincoln through her daughters, who both participated in the Youth cohort as high school students. Diane brings a background in organizational processes and technology support from her previous careers, as well as experience in communications and an English degree from UNL. 

When she's not working, Diane spends time with her daughters Maren (YLL 26) and Jenna (YLL 28), her husband Nick (Executives 38), and her cats Ari Shapiro and Steve Inskeep. Originally from Iowa, she loves getting to know her adopted home of Lincoln and Nebraska through hiking, biking, camping, and photography - plus attending as many concerts as she can.
