Two join lab foundation board
The Livermore Lab Foundation, the nonprofit partner supporting innovation and education efforts at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, recently welcomed two new members to its board of directors: Lori Souza and June Yu.
Souza is a longtime community leader in Livermore who also worked for nearly four decades at LLNL before retiring as associate deputy director of operations. Yu, who resides in Livermore, is the associate vice president and interim vice president for UC National Laboratories.
“Both are dedicated to the fundamental principles so critical to success for the lab and the foundation. Their knowledge of the laboratory, exceptional leadership and insights will be invaluable as we enter our eighth year of philanthropic dedication for science, research and student support at LLNL,” said Dona Crawford, board chair for the foundation.

College chancellor’s award
Chabot-Las Positas Community College District Chancellor Ronald P. Gerhard recently received the Harry Buttimer Distinguished Administrator Award at the annual conference of the Association of California Community College Administrators.
Gerhard, who is the third CLPCCD chancellor to win the award that recognizes integrity and strength in community college leadership statewide, has been at the helm of the district since being promoted to interim chancellor in January 2019.
Gerhard said he was “deeply humbled and profoundly honored” to accept the award, which considered “an opportunity to reflect on the guidance and wisdom of mentors that steered me to this calling and to renew my commitment to the students we serve.”
