Ramona is also passionate about the invaluable role public education plays in a successful community. As she began looking at running for the school board, it just fit. She credits Adams County School District 14 for providing a quality education for her sons and for launching her successful career in public education and feels running for the board is a way to pay back the community. She has the experience working for school boards, and now she can use her experience in a different way. Over the years, Ramona has had many mentors in the school board members she has worked for and hopes she can make a difference in the community as they have.
