Prior to E3, Vaughn was the Chief Operating Officer for the Tri-County Cradle Collaborative, a backbone Cradle to Career organization, where she oversaw strategy and primary leadership for the Kindergarten Readiness and High School Graduation Networks to ensure equity and authentic engagement in supporting ambitious goals for all of the children in the Tri-county region (Berkeley, Charleston and Dorchester counties) of South Carolina. Vaughn also served in a unique opportunity where she served in two positions simultaneously as Director of Education Initiatives with Charleston Promise Neighborhood (CPN) and as the Assistant Associate Superintendent with Charleston County School District. As a public-private, shared staff position, Vaughn utilized her experience in education to align goals and synthesize efforts to maximize efficiency and impact between the Harlem Children’s Zone-modeled initiative (CPN) and the Charleston County School District, the largest of four districts in the state of SC.

which recognizes women leaders breaking industry barriers across South Carolina. LaTisha received her first bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Missouri. After working for about six months in the field, she realized she needed to heed her calling to work in education and that her life’s work would be to ensure all children have equal access to world class education so they will be able to compete in a global society. She immediately returned to school to obtain a Bachelor of Arts in Elementary Education from Park College (now Park University), and Master of Educational Leadership from Georgia State University.
