Joint APWA & ASCE 2026 Luncheon

Join us Thursday, May 21st for a joint luncheon and presentation in Clovis with your American Public Works Association (APWA) and American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) chapters.

The City of Clovis is widely recognized for its commitment to community, public safety, and high-quality infrastructure. With a strong foundation in thoughtful planning and fiscal responsibility, Clovis continues to grow while maintaining the level of service and livability that residents expect. This month we welcome Mayor Vong Mouanoutoua as our guest speaker. He will share insights into what makes Clovis unique and how the city approaches growth, infrastructure, and long-term sustainability.

About Mayor Vong:

Mayor Vong came to the United States of America on Monday, November 15, 1976. His family immigrated here as refugees from Laos, after the kingdom of Laos fell to communist rule. Many Hmong fought alongside America during the Vietnam War; however, their battles were fought in neighboring Laos in a “Secret War,” that few knew about. Over one third of the Hmong people died in that war while rescuing downed American pilots, stopping the Ho Chi Minh trail, and conducting special ops missions for America. Laos fell, and with it, so did freedom for an entire nation. Thus, the Hmong had to leave a homeland that no longer welcomed them.

Vong moved to Clovis from Huntington Beach in 1996. He studied at UCLA and went on to obtain his Juris Doctorate degree from San Joaquin College of Law. He currently works as the Director of External Relations & Project Development for Community Medical Centers. He also teaches at Fresno State. When his schedule allows, he loves working with the children and youth at his church.

Passionate about service, Vong has and continues to serve in many capacities on various organizations within the community. After dedicating over 10 years on the Clovis Planning Commission, Vong ran for and was elected onto the Clovis City Council. He is humbled and honored to serve the residents of Clovis.
