Anky van Deursen

More than 35 years ago, my family and I came to this area for a high-tech job opportunity. Like many of you, Los Altos became home. We raised our two children here, and through them, I became deeply involved in our schools and community. I served as: Education Chair at the PTA of Oak Elementary, Chair of the PTSA of Mountain View High School, and President of the PTA MVLA PTA Council. I also co-founded the Dutch School Silicon Valley, and served as community media-tor with the LAMVCF. My professional career has given me a unique perspective that I believe would be valuable for our City Council. I studied law in the Netherlands and began my career as a corporate attorney in the high-tech industry. Today, I work in local government, with experience as a housing manager for the City of Mountain View. These experiences have shaped my collaborative,service-oriented leadership style. They taught me the importance of listening, building consensus, communicating clearly and working collaboratively to achieve meaningful results.
