Leadership L.A. focuses on neighborhood development in Koreatown
The Class of 2009 learned how neighborhoods grow and develop in Los
Angeles on Oct. 9 with Dr. Fernando Guerra of the Leavey Center for the Study
of Los Angeles, Loyola Marymount University, who discussed the DNA of
neighborhoods in the city and his "5 Ds" that have driven what L.A. has become: decentralization, democratization, deindustrialization, development of land and demographic shifts. The case study focused on Koreatown, where
Fellows met with Korean-American leaders, including Leadership Southern
California alumnus Hyepin Im, Korean Churches for Community Development; as
well as local business owners, developers, community organizers, historians and
neighborhood councilmembers. The class closed the session at the new Solair
Wilshire transit-oriented development with L.A. City
Councilmember Tom LaBonge. Read more

Alumni Spotlight
You are currently
working to develop an SCLN alumni volunteer project under the economy, creativity and innovation
initiative that will assist local non-profit Homeboy Industries. Please briefly tell us about
your goals for this project and why it is important to our community.
"Challenging economic times call for leaders to make values not only reflecting creativity and innovation but also compassion and
commitment. As we work with Homeboy Industries (HI) to learn about the
organization's needs, to help strengthen their core services and businesses, and to facilitate relationships with
others who share in HI's vision and mission, it is our goal also to recognize
more fully leadership in ourselves, to dig in our pockets and give of our
talents and resources, and to build a sustainable community where together we
make a difference in keeping hope alive.
In the words of HI Founder, Father
Greg Boyle: "For more than 20 years, Homeboy Industries has chosen to
stand with the poor and powerless, with the easily-despised and the readily
left-out. Homeboy Industries has chosen to stand with the 'demonized' so that
the demonizing will stop; it stands with the 'disposable' so that the day will
come when we stop throwing people away." The SCLN alumni project is about
leadership acting on a choice to stand for community."
-Rachelle Wenger, Director, Public Policy and Community Advocacy, Catholic Healthcare West; and Graduate, Leadership
Southern California Class of 2009.
