Councilmember Arlene Chin has lived in Tempe her entire life and dedicated her career, time and resources to improving the city in any way possible.
During the week Chin is the senior director of scholarships for the Arizona State University Foundation, a foundation that gives scholarships to ASU students of all kinds to support them through their educational journey.
In 2019 Chin was appointed to council to fill the seat of Kolby Granville who was voted to be removed a month prior after allegations of misconduct. She was chosen after a month long decision with 50 other applicants and served the remainder of Granville’s term until 2020 and was not reelected until the following term in 2022.
