Board of Directors
Diana Lopez Infante - President
Diana Lopez Infante started her professional career with the Department of Social Services for the City of New York, working with Child Protective Services (CPS), investigating reports of abuse and maltreatment of children, specifically working with sexually abused children. These experiences led her down the path of passionately advocating and promoting safe environments for children in need.
After three years as a CPS caseworker, she was awarded the Mayor's Minority Scholarship to study social work as a newly minted Licensed Master of Social Work (LMSW). It was an ideal opportunity to work on Department of Human Resources contracts to ensure services rendered to consumers were fair and equitable.
Diana moved on to the Home Care Services Program (HCSP) as the Director for both the Bronx and Queens counties to further enhance her social work skills. This was a role with dual responsibilities as she was tasked with ensuring proper administration of home care service to the Medicaid-eligible, frail, elderly and disabled clients; while safeguarding them in their home and community. Moreover, her responsibilities required overseeing the borough-wide implementation of policies, procedures, and system mandates issued by Federal, State, and City Governments.
After 37 years of dedicated service to the people of the City of New York, Diana retired and now enjoys spending valuable time with her husband, daughter, and a precious granddaughter.
As the current President of 100 Hispanic Women for Rockland County, Diana Lopez-Infante continues to be an inspirational beacon of light illuminating the pathway for young Latinas to move forward in realizing their full potential to further enhance their futures.
