== Biography ==
[[image:VOTER-GUIDE-Ann-Mallek.jpg|left|150px|Ann Mallek from a Charlottesville Tomorrow voter guide]]
Mallek grew up in [[Albemarle County]] and graduated from [[Albemarle High School]] in 1967.<ref>{{cite-gazette|title=Supervisors Honor Ben Hurt|url=http://www.crozetgazette.com/2011/01/supervisors-honor-ben-hurt/|author=|pageno=|printno=|printdate=|publishdate=January 13, 2011|accessdate=January 14, 2011}}</ref> She graduated from Connecticut College in 1971 with a B.A. in Zoology. 

Since 1983 Mallek and her husband Leo have managed the family farm in [[Earlysville]] where they raised their two daughters. The farm produces grass-fed beef and pesticide-free vegetables. She is currently{{when}} the Central Virginia Educator and Program Coordinator for the Virginia Museum of Natural History.  Ms. Mallek is a member of the [[Thomas Jefferson Planning District Commission]], [[League of Women Voters]], Albemarle County Farm Bureau, [[Charlottesville Regional Chamber of Commerce]], [[Piedmont Environmental Council]], [[Southern Environmental Law Center]], and [[Rivanna Conservation Society]]. She is serving as vice chair on the [[Rivanna River Basin Commission]]. 

In 2004, Mallek was a member of the board of [[Advocates for a Sustainable Albemarle Population]].<ref>Marshall, Jack. Board list on ASAP letterhead in letter to Brian Wheeler. 30 Nov. 2004. MS.</ref>

Mallek is an Educator/Coordinator for the Virginia Museum of Natural History.

She was appointed to the Virginia Board of Workforce Development in April 2016. <ref>{{cite web|title=Mallek appointed to Virginia Board of Workforce Development|url=http://www.newsplex.com/home/headlines/Mallek-appointed-to-Virginia-Board-of-Workforce-Development-376986771.html|author=News Staff|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Newsplex|location=|publishdate=April 25, 2016|accessdate=April 25, 2016}}</ref>

Mallek also served four years as chair from [[2010]] to [[2013]]. She ran uncontested in the [[2015 election]] to keep her seat on the [[Albemarle County Board of Supervisors]] and received 94 percent of the vote. <ref>{{cite web|title=2015 November General - Unofficial Results|url=http://results.elections.virginia.gov/vaelections/2015%20November%20General/Site/Locality/ALBEMARLE%20COUNTY/Index.html|author=|work=|publisher=Virginia State Board of Elections|location=|publishdate=November 3, 2015|accessdate=November 3, 2015}}</ref>

She focuses her civic attention on land use and transportation, serving on the [[Acquisition of Conservation Easements program|ACE]] and [[CHART]] committees since 2000; the [[Transportation Working Group]], 2005; and the Development Review Task Force, 2006-present.  As an officer of the [[Earlysville Area Residents' League]], 1995-2007, she encourages citizen involvement in local government.

She once again resumed the chair's role at the beginning of 2018. 


===Dispute over chair===
At their meeting on January 4, 2012, supervisors could not agree on who would be chair for the 2012 and 2013. At issue was whether Duane Snow and Rodney Thomas should remain on the [[Metropolitan Planning Organization]] Policy Board. Dumler, Rooker, and Mallek all supported Snow as chair, but wanted to make sure one of them served either as vice chair, or as a member of the MPO. A motion by Boyd to nominate Snow and Thomas as chair and vice chair failed on a 3-3 vote. A second motion by Rooker nominating Snow as chair, Dumler as vice chair, and Mallek as one of the MPO representatives also failed on a 3-3 vote. By default, Mallek will continue to serve as chair until a majority can be found to select a new chair. After the deadlock, Snow was elected as vice chair on a 4-2 vote with Boyd and Thomas dissenting.<ref>{{cite web|title=Audio from January 4, 2012 Meeting of the Board of Supervisors|url=http://www.cvillepedia.org/mediawiki/index.php/File:20120104-BOS-Chair-Dispute-Discussion.MP3|author=|work=|publisher=Charlottesville Tomorrow|location=|publishdate=January 4, 2012|accessdate=January 4, 2012}}</ref> <ref>{{cite-cville|title=New Albemarle board deadlocked on first vote|url=http://www.c-ville.com/Article/Government/New_Albemarle_board_deadlocked_on_first_vote/?z_Issue_ID=11100901124332472|author=Brendan Fitzgerald|pageno=|printno=24.02|printdate=January 10, 2012|publishdate=January 10, 2012|accessdate=January 12, 2011}}</ref>
