What's Next?
From the Executive Director:

It’s the question I’ve been asked the most over the past few months, “What’s next?” What’s next for Leadership Oakland? What’s next for me after the role of Executive Director transitions to someone else?

What’s Next for LO?
The search is well under way for the exceptional person and professional who will lead LO into the future.


Stay tuned,
Nancy
