Full Biography for Douglas M. "Doug" Chapman

Candidate for
Governing Board Member; South Orange County Community College District; Trustee Area 2

I believe I am well qualified to serve on the South Orange County Community College District Board of Trustees.

I was born in California, and have been a resident of Orange County for the past 28 years. My wife and I have raised six children and educated them through the public school systems. I attended Saddleback Junior College, as did my wife, and received my Associate's degree from there as an adult student, attending part-time while working a full-time job as an engineer. I then received my Bachelor of Science degree from California State University at Fullerton. I obtained the certification of Registered Engineer from the State of California.

In addition to serving on the East Orange County Water District Board of Directors, I have been very involved in the apheresis program with the Red Cross, and have donated over 130 units of platelets over the past few years. I am also very involved with our church service projects and additionally volunteer periodically to help with our homeless outreach program.
