While working with Dianne through very difficult project accounting tasks, Dianne was one of the best communicators I have ever met.  There was never a doubt that I didn’t know what she was thinking.  She is very transparent, deliberate and kind.  She is a great person and a great fit for this county.”

“I had the privilege to work for Dianne ...she is a great  teacher and great manager.  She does push for what is right all the time”

Ottawa County Sheriff Department Employee

“Dianne leads a team with confidence, commitment and compassion.  Dianne invested in me, coaching the development of leadership skills that I have utilized throughout my professional career.  Dianne is one of the best mentors I have ever had.  I strive to be a model leader like Dianne was for me years ago to hopefully empower others.  Dianne doesn’t just focus on herself, she commits to the whole team.”

Chelsey Appeldoorn, former employee

“Dianne pulls no punches and always speaks from the heart.  She doesn’t sugarcoat and speaks brut honesty.  If you want a sugarcoated treasurer, there are plenty around.  If you want a treasurer who is fluent in honesty and transparency about what matters most, vote Dianne Fikse.”
