Dani Lacio

Diversity Assistant, Community Activist, and Parent in Springfield, MO

Hey there, I’m Dani (they/them), I'm a graduate of OTC, Missouri State University, and received a Master of Nonprofit and Civic Leadership and graduate certificate in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Leadership from Drury University.

I have served on the Board of Directors for The GLO Center and Me Too Springfield. I wear many hats serving on Springfield Public Schools Community Collaborative, City of Springfield Sexual Assault Taskforce, Leadership Springfield Class 42 and even an election judge.

Currently I am the the Equality Organizer for PROMO mobilizing community members across our state to build broad-based support for PROMO and advance LGBTQ+ equality by actively engaging a diverse range of individuals and groups.

Outside of time standing up and fighting for others, I enjoy spending time with my wife and our two children, exploring the great outdoors.
