Leadership Team

Our Structure

We are entirely volunteer-run and have two elected Co-Presidents, an elected Secretary, a group of School Liaisons, and Committee Members. 

Announcing Our Leadership Team for 2026-2027

We are excited to announce that Roselyn Riley-Ryan joins Jennifer Nicosia as Co-President and Kathy Jensen will serve as Secretary, following the elections at our May 2026 Coffee Chat.

These roles are effective immediately and the board will finalize the transition by notifying SPAN and the New Jersey Department of Education of the new leadership team by the June 1 deadline. We look forward to another year of fostering a network of advice and support for our families and students.

Please join us in welcoming our new leadership as we continue to provide input on system-level issues to enhance programs and services for students with disabilities.

What is a School Liaison?

School Liaisons are the parent/caregiver volunteers who can help you navigate the special education process; share feedback (both positive and negative!) with the District; and connect with other families. 

If you have an issue related to your child's special education programming, make sure to let your School Liaison know so they can help voice your concerns or get your questions answered.
