Dyann’s career has been marked by her ability to build strong teams, strengthen community partnerships, and steward organizations through periods of growth and transformation. Most recently, she served as a major gift officer with St. Vincent Foundation, and her previous roles include VP of Development at Montana State University Billings and Development Director for the Montana Rescue Mission from 2017 to 2019.

I know that together we can bring a new season of hope, restoration, and impact.”
In her new position, Dyann will lead strategic vision, community engagement, organizational health, and mission alignment across three vital ministries serving Billings and the surrounding region. She is passionate about empowering teams, improving the continuum of care for those facing homelessness, poverty, and instability, and cultivating Christ-centered partnerships throughout the community.
