The San Diego Leadership Alliance is pleased to introduce its 2015 Institute Fellows!

From the law to labor, government to green initiatives, and community advocacy to social justice work, this is SDLA's sixth cohort of San Diego's emerging progressive leaders.

Our City San Diego recently profiled 21 of the region’s up and coming community leaders.  Their “Who’s Next” feature included a large number of individuals from the San Diego Leadership Alliance.

We are excited to see so many of our SDLA participants recognized for their commitment to civic life in San Diego.  

January 27th marked the kick-off of the 2015-2016 San Diego Leadership Alliance Institute!  We at the SDLA welcome this sixth class of progressive individuals. Our benchmark SDLA Institute aims to pro­vide these Fellows with the tools needed to become lead­ers in San Diego.

Stay tuned to our blog and Facebook page as we introduce the 2015 Fellows individually.

2014 San Diego Leadership Alliance Fellow Jeff Graves has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Lambda Archives, an organization that collects, preserves, and teaches the history of lesbian, gay, bisexual,and transgender people in the San Diego and Northern Baja California region.  

"There is no doubt that my gained experience, skills and overall participation with the San Diego Leadership Alliance has played a positive role and will continue to help me achieve my goals in moving forward a progressive agenda via community activism in San Diego," Graves says.  

In its mission to develop the next generation of progressive leaders in San Diego, the SDLA encourages and equips Fellows with the skills necessary to join boards and commissions.   

More information on the Lambda Archives can be found at their website, http://www.lambdaarchives.us/.  

Thank you to the more than 100 alumni, faculty, mentors, board members, prospective fellows, and guests who joined us Thursday, October 9 at Ryan Bros Coffee in Barrio Logan to celebrate the San Diego Leadership Alliance's 5th Anniversary!
