Mark Wade Lieu served on the Executive Committee for seven years before stepping into the role of President in July, 2007. As President, he represents the more than fifty thousand California community college faculty on academic and professional matters at the Board of Governors and Consultation Council.

Mark is a San Francisco native and resident and a committed user of public transportation. He has taught English as a Second Language courses at Ohlone College since 1989, and he applied for a job at Ohlone only because the college was accessible through the BART train system. Traveling on public transportation is ideally suited for one of his passions, reading, but less so for another, singing.
