Diana Holan

Diana Holan says, “Women are still such an untapped resource! It will take women and men working together to transform our neighborhoods, build resiliency in our cities and nurture the next generations so they can continue the stewardship of our planet.” Diana founded Foresight Communities, which is a scalable model for permanent, affordable, and sustainable rental properties, that are designed as a safe haven and launching pad for women moving out of domestic violence. The women receive ongoing support services for pursuing college education and professional development, or even for starting a new business. Diana has been an audiologist in Tucson for 25 years, and she has written for Hearing Health and Technology Matters. She says the best part of helping people hear is that they are able to build and maintain intimate and social relationships. Her work fits right in with her passion to empower and engage women in becoming conscious stakeholders in their communities.
