If you’ve had the opportunity to meet Diane, you know she gives her all in everything she does. In every call, email and especially at every event, over the last decade Diane gave the best of herself and her years of experience to Creative Memories and Advisors.

Beginning this year she’s scaled back to part time, though we had the privilege of having her with us at the Cancun Escape. Advisors she’d worked with closely over the years and the Home Office team made pages for her for the album you see in these photos, along with the presentation of a special necklace to help her remember her time with us.

Once she finishes supporting Canadian Advisors with an event this week and a Florida Advisor at the end of this month, Diane will be officially retired from CM. We can’t wait to see all that she does next! If you’d like to join us in wishing Diane all the best or staying in touch, please visit her website.
