He is a member of the board of trustees of the San Joaquin College of Law and the College of Sequoias Community Advisory Committee, and a member of the board of directors of the ALLY Foundation.

Sarah Clark Woolf will also join the Fresno State Agricultural Foundation Board. President of water management firm Water Wise, Woolf is also a partner and active member of the family business Clark Bros.

Woolf and her husband participate in more than 30,000 acres of farming operations in Westlands Water District, Fresno Irrigation District and many other smaller water districts throughout the state. She is a director on the board of Westlands Water District.

A native of Dos Palos, Woolf earned a degree in agricultural business from Fresno State in 1993. She previously worked in produce sales and served as district director and chief of staff for Rep.
