Diana Ohman

In July 1999, Ohman started her time as a deputy director of the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA). She led the organization's European division before being selected to lead the DoDEA's Pacific division in 2009. She remained with the DoDEA until she joined the Department of Veterans Affairs in 2011. With the National Cemetery Administration department, Ohman was in charge of cemeteries throughout the Midwestern United States until retiring in 2018.

Ohman announced in April 1994 that she would not run for re-election, instead choosing to run for Secretary of State of Wyoming. In the general election, Ohman defeated Democratic nominee Nick Deegan. During her term, Ohman co-created a plan to redistribute legislative seats in Wyoming using Global Information System software. Ohman was also involved in creating awareness about securities fraud and a Secretary of State website for Wyoming. Ohman was a write-in candidate for the Governor of Wyoming position during the 1998 election and did not run again as Secretary of State. After her term ended, Ohman became a school superintendent in Laramie County, Wyoming.

In 1990, Ohman defeated incumbent Democratic State Superintendent of Public Instruction Lynn Simons. During her tenure, Ohman proposed that the Wyoming School for the Deaf be shut down. The decision never materialized, however, as both Ohman and the Wyoming State Legislature decided that the school remain open the following year.

As an educator, Ohman was named the best teacher for Campbell County, Wyoming in 1980 and given a 1990 state principal award from the U.S. Office of Education. For her contributions in education, Ohman was given an alumni award by Casper College Foundation in 2009.
