Congratulations, LaKenya
Please join us in congratulating LaKenya VanNorman, senior regulatory compliance specialist at FMPA, for graduating from the Leadership Orange program through the Orange County School District. The program provides a small group of citizens to experience for themselves how the district educates more than 200,000 students each day. Over the last eight months, LaKenya spent time visiting each school within the district, Orange Technical College, and the district’s transportation center to learn about logistics, budgeting, learning programs, operations, community engagement, and more. We’re proud of LaKenya’s commitment to her local community and her dedication to being a good steward of it.
