"Diana Zelvin came into Slam, our Action Laboratory and wowed us with her electric and sincere presence.
She invited amazing individuals into our Rehearsals and Performances and in a brief time she increased our circle of supporters from Bankers and Real Estate leaders to local shop owners.
Diana has a magic elixir that beautifully unites people across all groups!"

MARTY MARKOWITZ
Former Brooklyn Borough President
"Diana is a powerhouse fundraiser! The first time she came to solicit funds for the PS 84 rooftop project, I had no intention of writing a check. Needless to say, her knowledge of me, the project, and her persuasive manner won me over.
If I had a project and needed to raise funds, she would be the first person I would call."
NORM BRODSKY
Entrepreneur, Author, Inc. Columnist
"Diana is a master at the art of being in the right place at the right time and of the all important process of following up. She raised over $2 million dollars for the construction of the first rooftop hydroponic greenhouse at PS84K in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, a project that now stands as a shining example of what a community can do for its children. She made it look so easy but it was actually quite a task, requiring exacting attention to detail, extensive networking, and administrative skill. Diana always managed it with grace and humor - donors actually love her and come back to donate more."

"Diana is incredibly responsive, professional and a pleasure to work with.
Diana knows everyone, I mean everyone. She's a connector in the truest sense of the word and understands people, relationships and how to get things done.
By working with Diana, my partners and I have been able to focus our time and energy on one of the most important but overlooked parts of running a business. How to work well with each other."
