Anni Chung, CEO of Self-Help for the Elderly, is selected to be in the task force reshaping San Francisco’s Constitution

A new working group has been formed to help rethink and modernize San Francisco’s city charter — the foundational governing document for the city — as part of an initiative led by Mayor Daniel Lurie and Board President Rafael Mandelman. The 31-member group brings together leaders from City Hall, labor, business, nonprofits, and community organizations to explore potential reforms ahead of a likely ballot measure.

Among the diverse voices on the working group is Anni Chung, President and CEO of Self-Help for the Elderly, who brings deep experience serving immigrant seniors and advocating for community-centered policies.

Chung’s leadership in the nonprofit sector has made a significant impact across the Bay Area — from directing culturally tailored social and health services to thousands of older adults, to advancing civic engagement among immigrant communities. Importantly for LeaderSpring’s alumni network, she is a proud Class of 2015 San Francisco alum, where her fellowship helped sharpen her strategic civic influence and deepen her engagement with city policy and community leadership.

Her presence on the charter reform working group underscores the real-world influence LeaderSpring alumni are bringing to key policy conversations in San Francisco. Through her ongoing civic and nonprofit work, Chung exemplifies how LeaderSpring Fellows continue to shape the city’s future well beyond their fellowship year.
