Diane Herman began working in the City Attorney's Office in September 1992, after having worked as a paralegal for private law firms ten years prior thereto. She was promoted to Legal Department Administrator within five months from her date of employment and continued in this position for eleven years where she was responsible for the total management and efficient workflow of the City Attorney's Office along with supervision of legal support staff.
In March 2004, the City Attorney's Office merged with the City Clerk's Office becoming the Department of Law & Records.

In early August of 2004, the then City Clerk, Yolanda Olgine, retired from the City and Diane became Acting City Clerk. She underfilled the position until her permanent appointment in August 2005. She also continues to serve as the City's Risk Manager.
Diane's personal interests include sports, camping and music. She has been a canter at St. Stephen Church for twenty years, and a vocalist at many weddings.
