His role will officially begin January 1, 2021, where he will serve a three-year term with eligibility for re-nomination. The A Rocha International board will be comprised of ten people, five of whom, including Dr Lasco, are regional representatives.

Dr Lasco has a wealth of experience both in environmental science and as a Christian pastor.
