The Chapin Woman's Club announced Diana Powers is the 2010 - 2011 Woman of the Year.Ms. Powers was selected by her peers as the member who most epitomizes the Woman's Club goal of service to others. Diana was born in West Virginia, one of four children and the middle of three girls, with parents who believed in possibilities.Growing up in a small town where you walked to school and walked to church, and that was inhabited by cousins, aunts, uncles, and loving grandparents was certainly influential in why she views the world much like a small town.
