MEET OUR SSP2P BOARD MEMBERS
Board President: Lauren Howard
Mother of three and a military spouse. After her child transitioned out of the Birth to Three Program, Lauren joined the Board of Directors in an effort to give back to the organization that has supported her family so well through the years.
Vice President: E. Renae Antalan
E. Renae is an Army Veteran, wife, mother, and grandparent/guardian whose been raising her two young grandchildren for the past 4 years. Early on she noted they were not developing along with their peers and sought help. She walked into SSP2P tired, alone, and with a lot of questions. An hour and a half later she walked out with a renewed energy, answers, and a motivated and compassionate Early Intervention team at her shoulders! From her heart to yours, it is truly an honor to be a part of and serve on the SSP2P board. For not only her grandchildren, but to all those who came before, are currently being served, and the countless others that have yet to come. Theirs is truly a brighter future!!

2020-21 Board Member: Dee Freeman
Working with families to help all children reach their full potential is my passion. I sincerely believe that the future of every child depends on the efforts of all of us. As a retired professional educator of more than 50 years I am acutely aware that parents are the first and most important teachers. When I look back on the lives of all of my students, especially those who had visual, hearing, medical, cognitive or other types of challenges, the ones who have been the most successful are those whose parents had the knowledge to inspire their children. The more parents know, the better chance of a positive future. Our public school’s systems are seriously overwhelmed, and these kids and their families can’t wait for their support. The input from the various components of Parent to Parent can be life changing. I am excited to be a part group that is providing the input to enhance the future of our entire community.
