Bringing leaders together

SCLN is expanding its reach beyond Southern California to develop a new generation of stewards of California's future.

Southern California is home to one of America's largest, fastest growing and most diverse populations; has the largest port complex - a cornerstone of major global goods movement; the largest stake in natural resource solutions; the largest consumer market for the Central Valley's agriculture products; and a thriving creative economy that continues to define Southern California innovation. However, despite these traits, Southern California's geographic distance has helped to contribute to its disconnected civic engagement at a statewide level on issues of mutual importance such as governance, fiscal issues, transportation and natural resource matters.

The California Connections initiative will facilitate that statewide civic engagement and building of new relationships. And there's no better time than now to begin. Now, more than ever before, Southern California leaders have an opportunity to connect on a statewide level and propel California in a positive direction through new and innovative partnerships.

The 2011 program will include issue-intensive leadership seminars on greater Los Angeles, San Francisco and the Silicon Valley, the Central Valley and the San Diego cross-border regions.  Read more about the full CA Connections initiative.
