Hi, I’m AZIZ!
I have had the honor and privilege to serve as your representative on the Alameda County Water District’s Board of Directors for the past four years. Since my election to the Board in 2016, I have focused my efforts on improving our infrastructure, protecting our precious water resources, and advocating for our customers. I currently serve as the Vice President of the Board, the Chair of the Engineering and Information Technology Committee, and a member of the Finance Committee.
I am excited at the prospect of continuing my service on the Board, and furthering our investments in our infrastructure, maintaining financial discipline, and being good stewards of the environment. As a Director at the Alameda County Water District, I represent the voices of the 357,000 residents of Fremont, Newark and Union City.
It is our responsibility to ensure that we deliver safe, clean, and affordable water on a daily basis, to the tune of nearly 13.5 billion gallons per year. I have made it my mission to be out in our community, listening to your concerns and ideas, and working to ensure that we protect our water resources for future generations.
I grew up in Fremont and have spent the majority of my 26 years calling it home. I take pride in being a product of the Tri-City and all that it offers. I’ve taken advantage of the opportunities and lessons from members of this community as a resident, student, neighbor, and public official. These conversations have stressed to me the importance of protecting our most valuable resource for generations to come.
I’m a proud recipient of a public school K-12 education - I attended Parkmont Elementary, Centerville Junior High, and Washington High School. I then went on to study at the University of Southern California, where I earned my Bachelor's degree in Industrial and Systems Engineering with concentrations in Data Science and Resource Planning.
Apart from ACWD, I have worked in consulting, IT incident response software, and cybersecurity. When I’m not in the office, you’re likely to find me taking a stroll down Alameda Creek, catching the Sharks or Warriors on TV, or reading a good book.
