On behalf of the Board of Directors and State Office team, we are delighted to announce that Diana Still has joined the Texas Alliance for Minorities in Engineering (TAME) as our new Director of Community Partnerships.
In this role, Diana will lead TAME’s efforts to grow our base of support by engaging volunteers, donors, corporate supporters, and community partners. She will oversee fundraising strategies, manage grants and donations, develop and manage partnerships with STEM-focused organizations, and lead TAME’s volunteer initiatives.
“Diana’s passion for expanding educational opportunities, her dedication to mission-focused work, and her ability to build strong, mutually beneficial relationships make her an incredible addition to the TAME team,” said Kiyomi Beach, TAME’s Interim Executive Director. “Her leadership will be key as TAME seeks to grow our statewide base of support, while increasing the resources we provide locally to our network of 100+ TAME Clubs.”
Originally from the Washington, D.C., area, Diana has called Austin home for eight years. Since 2018, she has been driving growth and impact in the nonprofit sector through strategic fundraising and relationship building. Diana is deeply committed to fostering opportunities for historically marginalized populations and using storytelling to create connections and amplify their voices. She is excited to share TAME’s mission with communities across Texas and build and foster relationships to support TAME’s engineering education programs.
For nearly 50 years, TAME has been empowering Texas students from underrepresented groups to pursue their engineering dreams. TAME offers free extracurricular engineering education statewide designed to spark students’ curiosity and foster a sense of belonging and community for diverse students in the engineering classroom.
TAME students benefit from the expertise of local volunteers, as well as community partnerships that help them discover and explore the many exciting areas of engineering. Diana’s work to build and foster these relationships will further enrich the research-backed programming TAME provides and ensure TAME’s mission continues to thrive.
Please join us in giving Diana a warm welcome to the TAME community!
