Amanda DiamondRing, CWCS
Amanda joined the Institute in May 2004 and immediately started streamlining internal processes, plans and implementation. Amanda organizes the Institute at Sea, in-person Institutes and Symposiums. She travels far and wide (via Internet and site inspections) to discover comfortable and convenient locations for meetings. Then she negotiates, negotiates, and negotiates. Though she doesn’t book your hotel reservations for you, she is ready and willing to work with venues on your behalf should any question or problem arise with your booking.
Amanda controls the Intitute’s accounts receivable and is on hand to answer any questions about billing and payment options.
Amanda graduated from Sweet Briar College with a BA in Italian Studies. While attending SBC, she worked at the college’s early learning center and upon graduation promptly went to work in her first love, early childhood education. She subsequently received her Masters in Education and was a founding board member of Maccabi Academy in Asheville and taught religious school for over 15 years. She is currently on the education committee at Congregation Beth HaTephila and the Koontz Intermediate Advisory Committee.
