About SCLN
In 2007, the Leadership L.A. Foundation (founded in 1987) and the Southern California
Leadership Network (founded in 1989) merged into one organization and continued
its partnership with the Los Angeles Area Chamber of Commerce. The two programs-
Leadership L.A. and Leadership Southern California- have long been the premier
providers of community leadership development in Southern California. United at
the Chamber, these programs are further strengthening and expanding their networks
of leaders.
Sessions are designed with three distinctive components unique to SCLN's programs:
1.) A comprehensive overview of the issues at hand, 2.) Dialogue and discussion
among peers and experts and 3.) Behind-the-scenes exploration or case studies.
SCLN's mission is to develop a productive network of exemplary and diverse leaders
in the business, government and community sectors who are capable of addressing
the critical challenges facing the Southern California region. The program's nearly
1,000 graduates serve on civic boards and commissions, and hold elected office,
business and community leadership roles throughout Southern California.
