Diana Bilger

Director of Finance

Diana Bilger is the Director of Finance at Conner Prairie. With over 40 years' experience as a CPA, Diana retired from public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, in 2017 after spending the last 23 years of her career in downtown Indianapolis at EY.

In 2025, Diana decided to come out of retirement to work full-time with Conner Prairie in the accounting area because she has had a passion for Conner Prairie ever since she was a little girl in 1973 when she visited Conner Prairie on an Indiana school field trip.

Diana has lived in Fishers for the last 30+ years where she has watched Conner Prairie grow and change into what it is today. While living in Fishers, Diana has always been a member at Conner Prairie and enjoyed taking her three children, when they were young, to Conner Prairie so they could also experience the excitement that Diana enjoyed as a small child visiting this very special place.
