When it comes to progressive leaders in San Diego, there's one local organization working to produce the next generation of leaders. That organization is the San Diego Leadership Alliance. The SDLA is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization.

It's New Leaders Council Institute is a program that equips Fellows with the skills, opportunities and relationships to make change in San Diego as well as providing them with the tools they need to take the next step in their careers. Joining me this morning is San Diego Leadership Alliance Board Co-Director, Johanna Schiavoni and 2013 New Leaders Council Fellow, Mark Leo.
