environmental health and wellbeing of the Yuba County community.
  Additionally, Mr. Maan is a member of the Punjabi American Heritage 
Society, the California Conference of Directors of Environmental 
Health, and the Yuba City Chamber of Commerce. He is the host of a

America and selfless dedication to his community have made him a well-
respected and treasured member of the Yuba City region. I offer my 
utmost appreciation and gratitude for Tej Maan's many contributions to 
society.
