Parent and Community Education
Co-Chair: Lisa Oglesby RochaAs a champion for early childhood educational development Ms. Oglesby Rocha received her Bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies with a specialization in child development from Cornell University and a Masters degree in Social Work from the University of Texas at Arlington.
