 | ALUMNI SPOTLIGHT | You have been very involved with SCLN. You are an LSC and LLA graduate, serve on our board, and currently a fellow of our California Connection fellowship, how has it affected your leadership skills and what would you suggest to prospective fellows interested in joining?  "More than anything I believe participation in the leadership programs with the Southern California Leadership Network has enhanced my ability to focus on holistic solutions for the communities that I live and work in. The curriculums of each program allow you to take healthy time away from your day to day work to deeply evaluate the challenges of today. I believe current and potential fellows participating in any of the SCLN programs will find them to be life altering and eye opening."

They also had a chance to hear from a variety of regional leaders on the importance of strengthening regional collaboration.
