She held key and executive positions at the local, state, regional and national levels of Zeta, among them: Stork's Nest of Tallahassee Coordinator, local Chapter President, State Director, Regional Chair of the Board, National Treasurer, Chair of the National Trustee Board. Rosa also founded and served as Executive Director of the Zeta Educational Thespian Association, Inc.

She had a zeal for fundraising and expanded her pitches for support of the Moseley House Museum to other community-based organizations, including the Florida Division of Historical Resources and Women of the 100 Club. Her efforts at the Moseley House project were so effective that Zeta Phi Beta Soroirty, Inc. bestowed upon her the title of Executive Director Emeritus.
