Prior to serving as Assistant City Manager, Roger served as Vice President of Operations for the National Foundation for Women Legislators in Washington, D.C. He also served in various positions for both the District of Columbia and the federal government. As Assistant City Manager of the City of Austin, Roger was responsible for economic development and management of the City’s “enterprise departments”. His responsibilities included management of the Water and Wastewater Utility, Solid Waste Services Department, Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Convention Center Department, Redevelopment Department, and Austin Convention and Visitors Bureau. During this time, Roger successfully balanced implementation of the City’s environmental and economic goals by forging strong working partnerships between the various stakeholders, which included local citizens, political subdivisions of the state, environmental and neighborhood groups, regulatory agencies, and businesses. Roger provided strong and effective leadership to produce measurable results for a cleaner environment. Under his management, the City’s Water and Wastewater Utility won many awards and commendations for best management practices and environmental compliance. As the City’s executive-in-charge of the Redevelopment Department, Roger contributed to redevelopment of the City’s Brownfields by implementing program processes to streamline the cleanup of these abandoned sites, which are being converted today for beneficial public use. While managing the City’s Solid Waste Services Department, Roger was responsible for closure of a major municipal landfill, cleanup of the Travis County landfill, and assessment of buried hazardous waste drums at the Austin Community Landfill, currently owned by Waste Management. Roger also facilitated policy-making to encourage recycling through expansion of the City’s Municipal Recycling Facility and restructuring of service delivery. Finally, he was responsible for successfully negotiating long-term contracts for landfilling the City’s municipal waste and for recycled materials sales. As Vice President of Operations for the National Foundation for Women Legislators in Washington D.C., Roger demonstrated his ability to operate alongside elected officials by meeting and working with more than 1700 legislators around the country at the local, state, and federal levels. His commitment to affirmative action and equal employment opportunity is well documented by his mentoring and appointment of many minority and women executives. His commitment to community is demonstrated by service on public and private boards and commissions, such as Community First Bank, WAMU Radio (a National Public Radio station), and the Home and School Association Board, and as a Mayoral appointee on numerous other governmental boards and commissions. Roger is an articulate public speaker and has been invited to speak at numerous public forums–both domestic and abroad. He is a former member of the Asian American Government Executive Network Speakers Bureau, the Asian Pacific American Presidential Appointment Committee, and the Federal Asian Pacific American Council. He is a Dwight D. Eisenhower Citizen Ambassador, a LIONs International Melvin Jones Fellow, and a recognized leader in the Who’s Who in American Business, 1999–2000 New Millennium Edition, in which he was acknowledged for his management and leadership skills. Roger completed work for the City of Austin on special assignment as Director of Public Affairs working with the City’s Office of Government Affairs as the Washington, D.C. liaison. He reported to the City Manager. ________________________ Descriptions on Roger Chan's Topics: The Art of Living – what your parents probably didn’t tell you and what you wish you had known earlier…how to be all you can be and truly love and enjoy your life The Art of Winning – the secrets to effective negotiation...what you need to know if you just want to have your way or need to close the big deal The Secrets of Kung Fu as Stress Management for Executives How to be a high performance person…So you want to fly with the Eagles…then you’ll need to stop having lunch with pigeons Diversity in the new millennium…what does diversity mean, how is it different than before, what’s it matter, why should you care Change Management – easy to follow steps to better manage change within yourself, your family, your work, and the ever-changing world around you. |
