Rochelle, who previously served as Deputy Director of the Governor's Office of Homeland Security, was joined by Mike Rice, President of the disaster service group, and Lejuan Harris, a senior construction manager with over 15 years in the K-12 industry. Shelby Stach, a project manager with CBRE, also presented, noting their collective experience in managing over $33 billion in educational projects and more than 100,000 classrooms.
