E. Diane Farrar has been a Certified Consumer Credit Counselor with Consumer Credit Counseling Service (CCCS) of Central Oklahoma since 2007. Diane holds an Associates degree in Business and Speech Communication from South Seattle Community College in Seattle, WA. She has also received extensive training in case management and has completed a Money Management Advisor program. Diane’s passion for helping others took her all over Seattle teaching numerous financial workshops, with a focus on women and those with low incomes. She has worked as a college instructor and curriculum developer as well as a project coordinator for the Apprenticeship & Nontraditional Employment for Women program. Seattle’s loss is Oklahoma’s gain as Diane brought her expertise to share with our community. Since 2007, Diane has worked to educate many Oklahomans on empowering themselves through money management education. Diane believes that since we need money to do everything, it is critical to be educated about the process. “It is what allows us to live for the most part, a satisfying and stress free life,” says Diane.
