BACKGROUND
During a recent meeting with a staff member from Contra Costa College (CCC), Community Services Director Greg Dwyer had the pleasure of learning about the remarkable achievements of one of their professors, Mark Wong. Professor Wong has not only won a prestigious regional award but was also competing against five other exceptional candidates from across the Nation.
Impressed by his background and significant contributions to the local community college, Mr. Dwyer believed that Professor Wong's accolades and accomplishments deserve formal recognition. Therefore, Mr. Dwyer is seeking to issue a proclamation on behalf of the City Council of San Pablo to honor Professor Wong at the upcoming City Council meeting on February 2, 2026.
