...Strategic Relationships for Progressive Leaders
The Leadership Network (LeaderNet) gathers South Bay’s progressive leaders together, providing education and support that helps them build skills as well as develop strong strategic relationships.
Founded in 1997, LeaderNet includes over 300 members, who seek to:
- Connect to other leaders who share their values and can support their work;
- Better understand Santa Clara County’s economic and political trends; and
- Take effective action in advancing progressive social and political objectives.
Throughout the year, LeaderNet convenes members for training and forums on relevant topics. Events include meetings with regional and national authors, elected officials, and other progressive thought leaders. These interactive sessions give members opportunities to discuss ideas, share insights and look for opportunities to move Silicon Valley toward a brighter future for working families.
For more information on LeaderNet, contact Elly Matsumura.
