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

• Chairman Jeff Harris, Superintendent of Schools and County Office of Education
• Vice Chairman Lonnie Reyman, Chief Probation Officer
• Alicia McKellar, Del Norte Unified School District
• Valerie Starkey, Del Norte Board of Supervisors
• Pa Xiong, Hmong Cultural Center
• Ranell Brown, Department of Health and Human Services
