“To me, Asian American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month is a time to uplift AANHPI voices and shine a light on the way members of the community have shaped the United States. I want to recognize our struggles, but also our joy, vibrancy, and achievements.”

This month, we highlight George Chan, an IS-Engineer, whose role and dedication exemplify the spirit of our team. George's work behind the scenes ensures the reliability and security of our critical water management systems, while his personal journey underscores the strong friendships within the ITS department at SFPUC.

Coordinating many events at the Southeast Community Center (SECC) is no easy task, but Patrick Llamas and his team sure does make it look effortless. Patrick helps many community members, organizations, and colleagues from various City departments to organize their events at the SECC. He also leads the SECC digital communication channels and strategy by helping to promote events and programs to activate the center and build brand awareness of the SECC.

San Francisco Public Utilities Commission’s Southeast Community Center has once again partnered with Dragonspunk Farmers Market to serve the Bayview Hunters Point neighborhoods with a Farmers Market each Thursday from 3:00pm to 7:00pm starting June 6 through October 31, 2024.  

“To me, AANHPI Heritage Month means honoring the work and sacrifices that the generations before me endured, so that I can be here now. It means taking the time to recognize the contributions that AANHPI people have made, and continue to make, and the unique perspectives we have to offer the world.”

“Asian American, Native Hawaiian, & Pacific Islander (AANHPI) Heritage Month is a time to recognize and reflect on the many AANHPI individuals who have made and are currently making positive contributions to society and our culture.”
