3rd annual los angeles community leadership conference

For those of you in Southern California, mark your calendars for a valuable opportunity happening next month... LEAP (Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc) is putting on a one-day leadership conference offering six innovative personal, leadership, and community development workshops.

Designed by and for Asian and Pacific Islanders, these workshops aim to teach participants to leverage their leadership skills and lead community action in the API community and beyond. Workshops will include Networking, DISC: Personal Profiling, Strategic Planning and Thinking, Speak to Persuade, and Entrepreneurial Leadership. Maybe this is something you need.

The conference also provides an important opportunity for the API ethnic communities to meet and discuss common issues and challenges, fostering coalition building among community advocates. Here's some registration information:
