Advisory Director of Youth Pathways

Gustavo L. "Gus" Garcia

Gustavo L. "Gus" Garcia was the 49th Mayor of Austin and the first elected Hispanic Mayor serving in that role from November 2001 to June 2003. He also served three terms as a Council Member (Mayor Pro Tem, 1996-1998) and previously was an Austin Independent School District and Austin Community College District Board President and Trustee.

Gus has spent much of his life fighting for racial equality, health care, and children’s issues. As a CPA in private and public practice, he was also a crusader for fiscal responsibility and that included a commitment to people in need.

What better way to honor our esteemed colleague than to direct you to his education credentials as they were honored by the Austin Independent School District. Since retiring as Mayor of Austin, Gus has been a consistent and valued supporter of Youth Pathways.
