Diane Walters
Diane Walters brings more than 20 years of fundraising experience to DoveLewis, where she partners with generous donors to advance compassionate, life-saving care for animals. DoveLewis brings together two of Diane's lifelong passions: caring for animals and helping others discover the lasting impact their philanthropy can make.
She believes philanthropy begins with listening, taking the time to understand what matters most to each donor and connecting them with opportunities to make a difference. Diane is honored to help ensure every pet receives the exceptional care they deserve while building lasting relationships with the community that makes that mission possible.
Outside of work, she enjoys exploring Oregon's trails with her dog, Betty, and hiking beneath the state's magnificent trees. She is a passionate advocate for all animals and their well-being.
