Class members also work throughout the year on projects that benefit community partner organizations.
“We’re excited to welcome this class of current and future leaders,” said Angel Escobedo, LCC executive director, in a press release. “The leadership development program will bond them, challenge them and ultimately empower them to tackle the challenges our community faces, making Southwest Washington an even better place to live, work and play.”
