Chief Executive Officer

Committed to a life-long passion of eliminating the causes of injustices, Long Vu has worked in the field of social work for more than 30 years, holding various positions both in the government and nonprofit sector.  He graduated from San Jose State University with a BA in Psychology and a MSW in Social Work.  After working for Santa Clara County Department of Family and Children’s Services for 10 years, he began studying law and received a Juris Doctor from Lincoln Law School of San Jose.  He began a private law practice handling personal injury and bankruptcy cases.  Finding his career choice and passion misaligned, Long returned to the field of social work in 2012 and started working for Mekong Community Center as a case manager. Subsequently, he obtained licensure as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW).  He was later promoted to various leadership positions and eventually became the Executive Director/CEO in 2018.  In his spare time, Long enjoys listening to music and playing keyboards in local bands performing at weddings and charity events.
