South Puget Sound Community College Trustee Doug Mah was awarded the 2024-25 Trustee Leadership Award, given at the Washington State Association of College Trustees Award ceremony on May 22.
“He's been a tireless advocate for our students, a trusted voice in legislative efforts, and generously volunteers his time to serve in leadership roles in ACT,” said SPSCC Trustee Rozanne Garman in a statement released by the college.
“Doug truly embodies what it means to lead with heart, purpose, and vision. It's an honor to serve alongside him and witness the impact of his service.”
Mah has been a member of the SPSCC Board of Trustees since March 2016, and is the owner of Doug Mah & Associates LLC. He is also on the board of the Washington State Employees Credit Union and a member of the Thurston Chamber of Commerce and the Gateway Rotary Club.
Additionally, Mah was on the Olympia City Council for 10 years and served as the mayor of Olympia from 2008-11.
“Doug is certainly deserving of this recognition,” said SPSCC President Timothy Stokes in a statement released by the college.
“Out of 170 trustees across the state, he was chosen because of his dedication to trustee issues at the local, state, and federal level. He is an outstanding trustee at SPSCC and cares deeply about the professional development of trustees at colleges across the country.”
Washington State ACT is a nonprofit that provides opportunities for trustees, and the ACT award recognizes those who have contributed significantly to advancing community and technical colleges.
