Leading Leadership Oakland
From the Executive Director(s)

Leading an organization like Leadership Oakland is truly a special honor. For all of us, it was more than a job; it's a mission that we poured our hearts, souls and knowledge into. And we received so much more in return by being surrounded with the tremendously talented and caring leaders of this region.

That's why we are eager to support the search for someone equally committed and passionate to continue the LO legacy as Nancy embarks on her own entrepreneurial venture later this summer.

We know the LO network is a mighty and well-connected one. Please share the Executive Director posting with potential candidates who have the passion and talent to be the Best LO Executive Director ... Ever!

We look forward to supporting the new LO leader into the future!
