Business and Community Service Background

By Lisa (Cannon) Rodman

My business background coupled with my community involvement provides a basis for strong leadership.

I learned what was successful in business and carried the same ideas to the schools.

I hold an Associate Degree in Fashion Merchandising from Orange Coast Community College and attended San Diego State University as a Business Major in 1982-83. I am currently a Communications Major at California State University, San Marcos, expecting a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Spring 2005.

I keep telling my sons how important a college education is, so I knew I had to set the right example and finish up the few credits I needed for my own degree.

In addition to my intense involvement in the schools, I served on the board of my homeowner's association for 10 years, with a total of 4 years as president. I have also served on the board of North County Aquatic Boosters and Carlsbad Youth Baseball. I am involved in community events, especially acting as an advocate for a second swimming pool in the Carlsbad area.
