Meet Dennis Yang
Experienced Leadership. A Focus on the Future.
Hello Neighbors,
My name is Dennis Yang, and I am both honored and excited to announce my candidacy for the Walnut Valley Water District Board, Division 5.
I have been a resident of the Walnut Valley Water District service area since 2002. As a technology executive and homeowners association board member, I understand the importance of responsible leadership, careful financial oversight, and dependable infrastructure.
For the past nine years, I have served as Chief Information Officer of a nonprofit trade association, overseeing technology operations, cybersecurity, major projects, contracts, and multimillion-dollar budgets. I have also led more than 150 technology professionals providing services to over 30,000 employees worldwide.
This experience has taught me how to evaluate long-term investments, manage risk, hold vendors accountable, and balance service quality with cost.
I also serve on my homeowners association Board of Directors as Treasurer, where I oversee budgets, reserve funding, financial reporting, vendor contracts, and long-term capital planning. This hands-on experience has given me a practical understanding of the financial and infrastructure decisions that affect our community.
"Decisions made today will affect its reliability, affordability, and infrastructure for decades.”
A Local Family
My wife and I have been married for 21 years, and we are raising our two children in this community, where they attend local public schools.
This is the community we call home, and I care deeply about its future. It would be an honor to represent Division 5. I respectfully ask for your vote.

Water is one of our community’s most essential resources. The decisions we make today will affect its reliability, affordability, and infrastructure for decades.
I will review the facts, ask the hard questions, and make decisions based on what is best for our community. I will bring an independent perspective, strong business and technology experience, and a collaborative approach to the Board.
