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, committed, and diverse 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.
The application window for the 2024-2025 West Coast Leadership Class has closed. Applications for the 2025-2026 Class will be available in the Spring of 2025.
