Alumni Spotlight

"Los Angeles is the definition of diversity because of its economy, its people and its politics. Through Leadership L.A., I have gained an understanding of the complexities involved in meeting the needs of the nation’s second largest city. By understanding how these policies, practices and systems work– both independently and as part of a cohesive whole– Leadership L.A. has taught me the way to make positive change and improve the quality of life for all Angelenos."
