Founded in 1997, the Working Partnerships Leadership Network (originally known as the Labor/Community Leadership Institute, LCLI) is the gathering place for the South Bay’s progressive leaders to build ongoing, strategic relationships beyond ad-hoc coalitions.  With over 200 members, LeaderNet brings together people who are looking for three things:
  • To connect to other leaders who share their values and can support their work;
  • To learn about Santa Clara County’s economic and political trends and models for effective strategic action; and
  • To lead with a sense of context, movement, and vision.

LeaderNet convenes members throughout the year for forums on regional issues of immediate importance to their work.  They hear from top experts and swap their own insights about the most compelling opportunities to shape the direction of Silicon Valley.

Successful relationships rely on a foundation of shared values, shared language, and personal trust.  To build this foundation, members participate in a twelve-week, twenty-person popular education and leadership training institute to become part of LeaderNet – a crash course in the inner workings of Silicon Valley’s economy and politics, and in what to do about it.
