Emily Yim
Emily Yim will become the first Asian woman to lead the Association of Community College Trustees (ACCT) this September as its chair.
The ACCT has a membership of more than 6,000 trustees and over 1,000 community and technical colleges nationwide and internationally.
Yim is the executive director of the Washington Alliance for Better Schools, a consortium of school districts throughout King and Snohomish counties.

Yim earned her bachelor’s degree in International Studies and Political Science at the University of Washington.
Emily is an outstanding leader on education issues both at the K-12 (STEM) side as well as with community colleges. She is very deserving of this honor to be the first Asian American woman to lead this national association of college trustees. Congratulations Emily! .
