In addition to his role at Albina, Ron served as President and Board Chair of the National Head Start Association(NHSA) from 1991- 2013, where he provided national advocacy leadership for Head Start programs across the nation. Ron talked about his life’s work with Head Start in an interview with The Early Link podcast, which you can listen to here.

Thank you, Ron, for more than four decades of advocacy work on behalf of Head Start programs and the significant impact this has had on the lives of countless children and families.
