HSLC Hero – Diane Rice

Diane joined HSLC in 2016 and has since participated in virtually every program while also serving on the Board of Directors. From 2017-2020, Diane served as the Board Secretary where she transcribed and distributed board meetings, kept records of all HSLC accounts, and gave due notices of all meetings, among other duties. She is the administrative arm of HSLC and ensures that our animal care-focused volunteers have the organization, support, and resources needed to do their work.

In addition to her secretarial duties, Diane participates in most of our community and adoption events, feeds a feral cat community, and frequently fosters dogs for HSLC. She volunteers with the Loudoun Pet Pantry and orders microchips for our animals.

Diane’s herculean efforts and down-to-earth personality are inspirational. She sets the example that one person can truly make an impact on the world, and certainly in animal rescue. Diane is beyond humble and rarely speaks of the importance of her impact. She is one of the many invisible hands behind the scenes of HSLC, and she is overdue to receive recognition for her wide-reaching impact.
