The Region One Education Center proudly hosted RGV LEAD‘s Annu-al Superintendent Meeting at Edinburg’s Region One conference center. The goal was to bring superintendents from across the region together to learn how the newly elected State Board of Education District 2 and keynote speaker, LJ Francis, will support the educational needs of the Rio Grande region. Francis’ face is already becoming familiar across the Rio Grande Valley as he has been actively attending various education-supported functions. He was recently seen participating in the RGV LEAD scholarship fundraiser, LEAD in Love.

Francis is flanked above the center by Daniel P. King, Ph.D. Region One Executive Director (left), and to the right of Francis is Luis Rodriguez, RGV LEAD Executive Director.
