Jeff Diestelmeier - Board of Education
We’re excited to announce the newest addition to our D100 Board of Education, Jeff Diestelmeier. Jeff brings a wealth of experience and a commitment to supporting our entire school community.
Jeff and his wife have lived in the Belvidere area for the last two years after having lived in Roscoe for about 35 years. There they raised their two children who attended the Kinnikinnick and Hononegah school districts. After their children finished college and established themselves elsewhere, Jeff was in the position to give back to the community and decided to run for a seat on the Kinnikinnick School Board and was elected. He served in that position for five and a half years, having been re-elected for a second term.
While a member of the Kinnikinnick Board, he was chair of the Finance Committee and also served on the Insurance Committee. When he and his wife found their dream home in Belvidere, Jeff had to resign from his position on the Board due to his change of residence, and he has been thinking about serving in Belvidere ever since.
Jeff worked for Woodward Governor for close to 20 years, then Ideal Industries in Sycamore for 2 and a half years. He’s been with Watlow, a St. Louis based company, for the last 18 years. Jeff has held a variety of leadership positions across all types of business functions, currently serving as Vice President and General Manager, leading one of three business units for Watlow.
While serving on the Kinnikinnick Board, Jeff was able to use his business experience dealing with finance, insurance and other matters brought to the board.
Jeff will be sworn in as a Board member at our October 21st Board meeting where he will fill the position through April 2025.
We are confident that Jeff's leadership and dedication will help us continue to foster a positive, inclusive, and thriving environment for our entire school community. Please join us in giving Jeff a warm welcome!
Thank you for your ongoing support of District 100.
