CNC President and CEO "Woman of Influence"
Diane Price was chosen for the Colorado Springs Business Journal's "Women
of Influence" feature.
"Price was a classroom teacher for 10 years....grateful to be working with people
who were committed to the success of public education. Although her love for
children has taken her ... into nonprofit organizations, nurseries and the legislative
arena, she learned invaluable lessons from her time as a schoolteacher. 'I learned
some leadership skills and learned to compromise. But most importantly, I worked
with parents,' Price said. 'Parents are critical. This is about building relationships
with families and having them understand what's happening at school and having
schools understand what's happening at home.'" — from Colorado Springs
