It’s hard not to find a community cause that Mike and Diane Boyett don’t support with their time, talents and treasures. From Adult Resource Alliance Billings to Hoodies for Heroes and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County, Mike and Diane are serving our community from those entering elementary school all the way to those enjoying retirement.

Mike and Diane have a true passion for our community. Diane worked at First Interstate Bank for 42 years and upon retiring she shared her time volunteering for causes that were near and dear to her heart. Mike was raised in Billings and graduated from Eastern Montana College (MSUB) with a degree in Business Administration.  He served in the Air Force as a lieutenant and upon returning to Billings, he joined the Yellowstone County Sheriff’s Department as a patrol officer and detective for nine years. He began in banking career in 1984 at First Interstate Bank and retired in 2011 as Vice President and Corporate Security Officer. Now, he serves in many volunteer positions including City County- Ward 5 and Billings Police Commissioner.

Over the last several years, Mike and Diane Boyett have been instrumental in enhancing the programs and services offered to Club members at our Lockwood Clubhouse. When the Café needed a renovation to improve our meal program, Mike and Diane stepped up and provided the lead gift on the project.  Then, as the Boys & Girls Clubs of Yellowstone County built a long-term plan to enhance social and emotion wellness for Club members and staff. Mike and Diane shared resources to help bring a Calm Center to life with a relaxing, safe environment filled with fidgets, comfy seats, and small activities aimed at helping Club members regulate their emotions and respond better to stressors.
