Tina Allen

Statement for Delegate
I have had the privilege and honor to be a part of your executive management team as your vice president of membership. As such, I spent my term learning from and listening to the members and staff. I also worked on the strategic plan for the future of our organization. I would like to move forward merging what I have learned over this past term as a Board member with my 20 years of experience with grassroot organizing on local campaigns, bargaining with SEIU and community activism in the Bay Area on the National and International level. I would be honored to continue representing you, the members, as a Delegate and one of your Board members. Thank for your past and future support.

Meridith Amato

Statement for Delegate
I have served as a Supervisor/Manager at State Fund in California for over 23 years. I believe in the mission and purpose of ACSS and have seen many examples of the organization’s value to its members. I have lived in the SF Bay Area for my entire life and it would be my honor to represent Chapter 505 at the next Delegate Assembly in 2024. I will support initiatives and actively work to increase ACSS membership and participation. If elected to serve as a Delegate, I will carefully review proposed resolution changes for the ACSS Bylaws and other ACSS business, while representing the interests of our Bay Area members. Join us at a future ACSS Chapter 505 meeting! I would love to meet you and find out what your concerns and interests are and what ACSS can do to help. 

Jie Wang

Statement for Chapter President
Having been actively involved with the ACSS for the past eight years, including the past three years as the Chapter 505 President, I have benefited a great deal in personal and professional development, while gaining insight about ACSS's mission and value. It would be a privilege for me to service the ACSS members through the capacity of the Chapter Officers and/or as a delegate if being chosen again for the next term of office. I will continue to improve my skills in organizing the chapter activities, to bring ACSS to the members and help to nourish and grow the organization by increased membership and participation.
