Diane J. Plotts
Vice Chair, Board of Trustees
Kamehameha Schools
Diane J. Plotts has been a member of the Board of Trustees for Kamehameha Schools for the past eight years. As a savvy businesswoman, community volunteer and philanthropist, she has the ability to balance business and economic impacts, community and stakeholder concerns and political repercussions to find the most optimal solutions.
Diane makes critical and strategic decisions on behalf of Kamehameha Schools, but her dedication and compassion go far beyond the Boardroom and her position as a Trustee. She makes it a priority to spend time supporting our students whether to attend Christmas concerts, May Day programs, Founder’s Day events the 5th grade play or to stand in as a surrogate parent when necessary for the Back to School Day.

Well deserved, Diane!
As I think about your leadership and guidance at Kamehameha Schools, I know we are fortunate to have you in the boardroom. Your knowledge has helped guide us in the construction of two new campuses through probing questions and gentle reminders. Families will be blessed on Maui and East Hawai`i for years to come through your good work.
Mahalo nui loa, Rod

Truly a well-deserved recognition of your lifelong contributions in both the for-profit and non-profit sectors! Including your past service on the board of The Nature Conservancy. Your knowledgeable, thoughtful, measured perspectives have always moved your organizations forward responsibly. You are a great career role model for us all.
