Since 1988, the West Coast Leadership (WCL) Program has been preparing members to assume leadership roles in our community. WCL is a 9-month long course that looks at our area with the goal of building a stronger community by creating an informed and committed network of community trustees. WCL members participate in educational sessions, tours, and candid conversations with community leaders. Areas of focus include justice, education, human services, innovation, and economic development.
