Leadership
San Ramon Valley is designed to provide current and emerging
community leaders with the information and skills necessary to appreciate
the resources, understand the issues, manage the challenges and
lead in the rapidly evolving business, political, educational, cultural
and social environment of the San Ramon Valley.
Grounded
in the notion that a community's greatest resources are the quality
and commitment of its civic leaders, Leadership San Ramon Valley
believes that our community thrives on the efforts of those who
are inspired, committed, knowledgeable and creative; those who create
opportunities, seek new ways to overcome challenges and provide
innovative insights; and those who, through their personal commitments,
toil to grow a community, an economy and a society.
Participants meet once a month in day-long
seminars and concentrate on issues affecting the San Ramon Valley.
A different topic is highlighted at each of the 10 sessions at which
community leaders share their insights and class members interact
through projects and fieldwork.
