Len Augustine: A Lifetime of Service, Leadership, and Community Impact

Welcome back to our podcast. Today, we are honored to welcome Len Augustine, a respected leader whose life represents service, sacrifice, leadership, and dedication to community. Len Augustine’s journey began in the coal mining region of Pennsylvania.

During his military career, he became a command pilot with thousands of flight hours and served in major leadership roles, including commanding the 89th Military Airlift Wing at Andrews Air Force Base, the unit connected to executive airlift missions for national leaders. After serving our nation, Len continued his public service right here in Vacaville. He served as a City Councilmember, Vice Mayor, and Mayor, helping support important work connected to downtown renewal, senior services, transportation, Travis Air Force Base, military families, public safety, city planning, and community development.
