Some Memories of 2023 Election

My first hello

​

​

GET TO KNOW FANG GONG
Committed to Excellence in Livingston's Education
 

Hello, Livingston community! I'm Fang Gong, and I'm eager to serve our children and families as a member of the Livingston Board of Education. Since making Livingston my home in 2010, I've been deeply immersed in our community, not just as a resident but as a dedicated mother of two wonderful Burnet Hill Elementary School students. My journey in this community has always been driven by three core values: excellence, empathy, and equity.
 

In the realm of education, I'm proud to hold a master’s degree in Public Administration from Rutgers, a master’s certificate in Project Management from George Washington University, and a completion certificate from the New Leadership training program at the Center for American Women and Politics, Eagleton Institute of Politics. My internships at the New Jersey Council on the Arts and the United Nations have only reinforced my commitment to education and advocacy.

​

Professionally, my leadership journey led me to manage Rutgers’ International Executive MBA program in Beijing and hold esteemed positions at Montclair State University. Here, I served in the International Program Office at the School of Business and later in the University’s Global Education Center.

​

My commitment to our community runs deep. I've co-chaired the annual Multicultural Night for two years through the Home and School Association (HSA), emphasizing our shared value of community diversity. I've collaborated extensively within the Burnet Hill School’s Equity Team and volunteered at both the Livingston Public Library and with the Friends of the Library. Being an instrumental part of the Livingston Multicultural Parents Association (LMPA), I facilitated the donation of AAPI-themed books to our elementary schools. I'm also proud to be a board member of the Livingston Chinese Association.

​

During this campaign, on October 2nd, I attended the Regional Informational Program organized by the New Jersey School Board Association (NJSBA).
I also took a significant step by proudly signing the Pledge by Action Together New Jersey, committing to its three essential pillars:
1. Believing in public schools and protecting public education for all kids.
2. Supporting our teachers wholeheartedly.
3. Standing firmly against book banning.

This campaign is only the beginning of my endeavors to learn, grow, and better equip myself for our students' future. My commitment to continuous learning and maintaining an open line of communication with our Livingston community is unwavering.

Every single vote has the power to create a positive impact on the future of our children and our community. I humbly request your support. Please make your voice heard, step out, and cast your vote for Fang Gong, Line 2D. Together, we can make a significant difference.
