Rosa Alas

Rosa Alas is the Legal Operations Manager developing efficient and progressive office management to ensure a competent and united support team for the legal advocacy staff.

Rosa began her DRC career in 1985, working tirelessly on the "Baby Lopez" litigation case, which ultimately allowed a mother to keep her infant with disabilities at home for the final few years of his life. At the time, as a new mother herself, Rosa felt the anguish and determination the mother felt—igniting Rosa's passion for protection and advocacy on behalf of people with disabilities. She has since helped form the first agency-wide diversity committee to shape DRC’s work with underserved and diverse communities.

Rosa’s goal is to build a legal support team with members who reach their highest potential, who feel they are valued, and who make a positive difference in clients’ lives. Rosa has an Associate’s degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Computer Science and a Paralegal Certificate.
