Lake Norconian Club Foundation Board of Directors

Diane Markham-Social Media

Diane grew up in a beautiful 1929 English Tudor home, fostering an early appreciation of architecture, art and history. Married and raising boys, most of her early volunteer work involved the Children’s Hospital of Orange County, schools and sports organizations. As a highly competitive innovator, she has won numerous accolades for cosmetic sales and special events in the industry which she is now employed. Now an empty nester, she prefers to devote her spare time to the pursuit of saving her community’s most significant hidden treasure, The Norconian Resort. Always looking for creative solutions, a fellow board member once said; Diane is never inside the box.” She believes that if you can do something to help, you should.

Susan Sawyer-Membership

Susan is retired and has been a resident of Norco since 2004 when she moved here from Corona with her husband Mark.  Her children were already students at Norco High and she had always loved the town and it’s unique, quaint and rural lifestyle.  Her first introduction to the Lake Norconian was driving past the hotel with Mark and he pointed out that it was where he was born when it was a navy hospital and his father was stationed there.  That’s all it took.  Susan became fascinated and wanted to know more.  They became members of the foundation and Susan learned all she could about the property and immediately volunteered to help.  Now it is her passion to introduce the history to others and fight for it’s preservation.
