Denise for LBL ESD Board.

I am running for the position of Linn Benton Educational School District (LBL ESD), Board of Directors, Zone 4, because I believe in the power of our community to support and empower children and families. I understand that children and families thrive when they have access to quality education and comprehensive support services.

I am a mother, friend, wife and Corvallis resident. I am from the Caribbean island of Antigua. When my family first moved to this area, we received services from LBL ESD. When I began my career as an EI/ ECSE Specialist, I worked at this ESD. LBL ESD is a place of possibilities; I am committed to ensuring that all families can access these services. I am dedicated to advocating for their continuation, ensuring they are equitable and of the highest quality.
