Our next meeting will be held on Tuesday, May 5, 2026
Our speaker will be Pha Mouavangsou. Pha’s topic will be, “Building Strong Communities — How Education, Leadership, and Opportunity Shape Real Outcomes for Families“
Join us for a meaningful conversation on how education, leadership, and opportunity shape real outcomes for families—and how stronger, more connected systems can create lasting success in our communities.
In today’s evolving social and economic landscape, individuals and families are navigating increasingly complex systems in education, workforce development, and community support. While opportunities exist, many continue to face barriers that impact long-term stability and success.
Pha Mouavangsou will explore how education, leadership, and access to opportunity directly shape outcomes within our communities. Drawing from his experience as an educational leader and systems thinker, he will offer insight into how individuals enter and move through these systems, where gaps continue to exist, and how those gaps can impact families across generations. His perspective highlights how more connected and responsive systems can create stronger and more sustainable outcomes.
Pha is an experienced educational administrator and community leader currently serving at the University of California, San Francisco, where he leads operations within the Department of Medicine and supports campus life services.
Throughout his career, Pha has held leadership roles across higher education, including serving as a Dean, Director of Student Services, and Grant Director, focusing on student success, retention, and workforce readiness. His work has provided him with a comprehensive understanding of how individuals access education, navigate challenges, and transition into real-world opportunities.
His experience also includes working with individuals navigating critical life transitions through re-entry and transition programs with Merced Community College, including work connected to Valley State Prison. This work provided him with firsthand insight into the challenges of reintegration and how systems directly impact long-term outcomes for individuals, families, and communities.
Pha has served as a Board Member for the Fresno Center for New Americans and the Children’s Services Network, and has been recognized as one of the Fresno Business Journal’s Top 40 Professionals Under 40.
