David is chairperson of the Committee of the Whole of the Board of Education, the Ad Hoc Committee on After School Program, and the Ad Hoc Committee on Parent Community Advisory Councils. In addition, he is a member of the Curriculum & Instruction Committee, the Human Resources Committee, and the School Safety, Health and Human Services committee. He also represents the local School Board on the California State Board Association and the County Committee for School District Reorganization. He serves on the Boards of Project Restore, Junior Statesmen, Arts Net, and the Los Angeles County Art Museum's Art Initiative.

David taught Social Studies and English as a Second Language courses at John Marshall High School for 12 years. He coached the Los Angeles Unified School District's first National Academic Decathlon Championship Team in 1987. He was active in drafting John Marshall's School-Based Management plan and served on various governance committees during his tenure there. As a grant writer, he secured $750,000 from a foundation for his high school to develop a Next Century School. David also served on two working groups that helped to shape L.E.A.R.N., which is Los Angeles' major educational reform effort.

While in the classroom, David received several honors for leadership and excellence in teaching, including the United States Department of Education's Christa McAuliffe Fellowship. He has received three National Endowment for Humanities study grants and was a Fulbright-Hayes Scholar in Mexico and Central America. U.C. Berkeley's Law School awarded him a Clio Fellowship for the study of the U.S. Constitution. Stanford University twice gave him COE Fellowship to study 20th century United States History.

"We are thrilled to be joined by such a leader in education," explained Alex Brecher, COO of Accelify.
