About
In 2006, the Leadership L.A. Foundation, founded in 1987, and the Southern California Leadership Network, founded in 1989, joined forces in a new partnership with the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce. Now programs of SCLN at the L.A. Chamber, Leadership L.A. and Leadership Southern California will continue to be the region's two premier leadership programs.
Sessions are designed with three key components that are distinctive to SCLN's programs:
- A comprehensive overview of the issue at hand
- Dialogue and discussion among peers and experts
- Behind-the-scenes exploration through case studies
Leadership L.A.
The program includes about 25 selected participants to engage in nine monthly, full-day sessions devoted to key community issues exploration and leadership skills development. It is for individuals with expanding community leadership roles throughout Los Angeles County.

Developing Regional Leaders
Each year the program enrolls about 40 carefully selected mid- to senior-level leaders in a 10-session program that embodies the values of regional stewardship, experiential learning and a deep exposure to regional public policy issues. Participants travel across five counties, exploring cross-cutting themes while interacting with leaders of regional, state and national note.
