IN THE SPOTLIGHT

Diane Brinser, vice president of finance

Diane Brinser has been with MANSI/PNA in many roles since 2001. Her most recent position is vice president of finance.


Outside of work, Diane and her husband, Brian, spend much of their time supporting their children in their various events. Whether it’s soccer, field hockey, basketball, track or band concerts for her high school junior twins or a quick visit to her junior in college, there’s always something to fill the calendar.  In the rare case there is nothing on the schedule, Diane enjoys the quiet of home and watching sports-related movies. She is also known for her superior bargain-shopping skills and enjoys the occasional visit to antique shops to find treasures to add to her collection.
