Diana Sharpless, PhD is delighted to be on board as Expedition Inspiration’s new Development Director. She brings a wealth of experience and looks forward to the challenge of broadening EI’s appeal in the non-profit sector. Her background as an art therapist provides an eclectic outlook on the human condition. As an artist, she conveys her passion for wilderness through photography and public speaking on the healing powers of nature. Serendipitously, Diana now finds herself involved with a dedicated Board of Directors and a committed staff who believe ‘until there’s a cure, there’s a climb’. During off-hours she can be found hiking in the surrounding hills with her dog, Obo.
