Women of Distinction Magazine Selects Stacy Lynn Roccaforte as a Distinguished Professional

    PEORIA, AZ, December 12, 2015 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Stacy Lynn Roccaforte, Field Trip Coordinator for Act One, has been recognized as a Distinguished Professional in her field through Women of Distinction Magazine. Stacy Lynn Roccaforte will be featured in the upcoming edition of the Women of Distinction Magazine in 2015/2016.

As an active member of numerous charities over the years, Stacy Lynn Roccaforte had the opportunity to many philanthropic women with mutual interests, one of which introduced her to Act One, an organization founded in 2011 that provides educational field trips to the visual and performing arts in Arizona for students in Title 1 schools and provides access to arts organizations within the local community. Very much interested in what the non-profit offered to area students, Ms. Roccaforte knew that she wanted to be a part of their team in some capacity.

In June 2015, Ms. Roccaforte became the organization's Field Trip Coordinator, working alongside the Director of Program Development and facilitating school field trips for Title 1 students. Also responsible for overall communication with the schools, bus companies, and arts and cultural partners in order to coordinate field trips for approximately 25,000 children throughout the school year, Ms. Roccaforte is enjoying every minute of it.

"When I heard about Act One, I could not pass up the opportunity to get involved," Ms. Roccaforte said. "It was apparent to me that working with charities, especially those that involved children, was where I wanted to be."

Making the decision to stay home and raise her two children, Ms. Roccaforte's husband at the time had been volunteering for the American Red Cross, which quickly rubbed off on her. Helping those in need and becoming more involved in the world of charity has been a passion of hers ever since.

Ms. Roccaforte attended high school in Avon, Connecticut. Receiving her Associate's Degree in Liberal Arts in 1991, she later transferred to Curry College in the Boston area where she went on to complete her BA in English, Summa Cum Laude, in the spring of 1993.
