Betsie Diamond, Secretary

I am a retired legal secretary having worked in various San Francisco law firms and ended my career in 2017 after working for fifteen years with Pacific Gas and Electric Company in the Law Department.  I also substitute taught various Business Education classes at the College of Marin and Indian Valley Colleges.  For my “fun” thing, I started tap dancing in 1998 and have been a student of local dance instructors and have performed in numerous musical theatre productions – ten years with Doree Clark and her Don’t Quit Your Day Job Dance Company, nine years with Marilyn Izdebski Productions; and sixteen years with the Stapleton Theatre Group.   Because of my participation with these groups, I have a love for the performing arts and have first-hand experience of what goes into doing a show, both in dance and theatre.

I have an Associated Arts Degree in Business from West Virginia Career College and a B.S. Degree in Business Education Comprehensive from West Virginia University both located in Morgantown, West Virginia.  I have been married for forty-seven years and have resided in Kentfield for forty-five years – I consider glorious Marin County as my home.
