Veteran, Special Ed Advocate LaTonia Lee Is A Local Haverford Leader

HAVERFORD, PA — Without community leaders, Haverford wouldn’t hum along nearly as smoothly as it does. We’d miss their contributions in big and small ways.

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to recognize these often unsung community leaders and celebrate their contributions.

This submission comes from Monet Reilly, a Haverford reader who nominated LaTonia Lee.

What does this community leader do?

LaTonia is a Human Resources Director for a major hospital system in Philadelphia.

Why do you believe the community leader should be recognized or honored?

LaTonia is someone who, as the cool kids would say, “has the receipts” for all the amazing work and advocacy she does across Delaware County.

Apart from being a devoted mom, LaTonia is also a Special Education Advocate and a Veteran.

She’s currently working as an HR Director of Employee and Labor Relations at a major

Philadelphia Hospital system. LaTonia also serves on the Board of the Maurice Rush Foundation, a local non-profit that supports parents of children with Autism.

LaTonia is passionate about supporting the parents and students of Haverford School District and Delaware County. In fact, she’s the Co-Chair for the Delaware County Right to Education Task Force, where she helps parents navigate the educational system. She’s also an Education Surrogate in Delaware County, supporting students without parents or guardians.

What's one thing you want everyone to know about the community hero?

Since the “in the meeting room” advocacy for special needs students is not done under the public eye, it’s important to note LaTonia's dedication to the cause of helping children and families of this area is unwavering and she does an amazing job for her families.
