Event Date: October 19, 2022

Notable Moment: At the celebration, the Diane Walker Fellowship was announced in honor of longtime partner, Diane Walker. In her remembrance remarks, former executive director and current partner Terri Wogan Calderón shared, “she was a founding member of SVPAZ and held every leadership position we offered, culminating with being board chair. With all of these amazing qualities – she was one of the most humble people I knew.” Calderón said, “Diane often expressed that she was an engineer and after being in the corporate world she just didn’t feel that her soul was truly being fed. However, once she came into contact and learned more about SVP, she “found her purpose with like-minded people.”
