Vivian Malauulu*
Long Beach City College, CA
Serving as an ACCT Director-At-Large is a privilege which I am honored to have. Earning the CCCT endorsement again is also a source of great pride because it allows me to continue advancing ACCT’s mission with the support of my State’s leadership. First elected to the LBCC Board of Trustees in 2016, I am currently serving my second term as Board President. My unique personal background as a first-generation immigrant from Honduras who was adopted and raised by my African-American stepfather, and my broad professional experiences as a career educator, labor union officer, and journalist all influence my work advocating for community colleges. I am passionate about workforce development and I pour my heart and soul into programs which prepare our students and future-proof our career-readiness efforts. My direct ties to the Pacific Islander community and my activism with working families enable me to serve underrepresented demographics on the frontline of higher education.
