About FIRST 5 Del Norte

Who We Are

The First 5 Del Norte Children and Families Commission is funded by Prop. 10 tobacco taxes to support the health and development of children 0 to 5 and their families. Every county in California has a First 5 Commission and there is also a statewide First 5 California Commission. 

Our Commission

The members of the First 5 Del Norte Children and Families Commission bring a variety of experience, knowledge, and community partnerships to the table. Our current members are:

• Chairman Athena Csutoras, College of the Redwoods
• Vice Chairman Jeff Harris, Superintendent of Schools and County Office of Education
• Chris Howard, Del Norte County Board of Supervisors
• Alicia McKellar, Del Norte Unified School District
• Warren Rehwaldt, MD, Open Door Community Health Centers
• Lonnie Reyman, Chief Probation Officer
• Heather Snow, Department of Health and Human Services
