LEAD is currently seeking project
proposals from community-based organizations serving low- to moderate-income and
traditionally underserved communities in San Diego County. Projects need to
consist of a scope of work that could be initiated and completed between November
2010 and May 2011, but lack the human resources to accomplish it. If you are
unfamiliar with our community investment efforts, we highly encourage you to contact
us as we would be happy to discuss potential projects and answer any questions
you may have. The proposal form is available at www.leadsandiego.com and is due
on Thursday, August 12, 2010 by 5:00 PM. Late or incomplete proposals will not
be accepted. Read more.

Council (PAC) convened for its annual meeting to discuss the successes of the
past year, as well as ideas and direction for the 2010-11 programmatic year.
The PAC is the driving force behind LEAD San Diego program design and consists
of many of San Diego's most influential leaders who provide input and guidance
around critical regional issues, as well as make themselves available
throughout the year to further strengthen LEAD's positive impact in our region. Read more. |
 The ending and beginning of our fiscal
years is always an exciting time full of mixed emotions. We are anxious as we
look ahead to the coming year and reflect on the successes of the past year. This
sentiment carries through every aspect of LEAD, including the board of
directors as it marks the beginning of a new board chair's tenure, along with
the addition of new board members. Unfortunately, it also signifies the departure of dedicated board members
who have completed their commitment to LEAD. Read more.

Why do flamingos stand on one leg? How long is a giraffe's
tongue? What adaptations do camels have for living in the desert? What animals
are housed at the Elephant Odyssey exhibit?
Over 100 LEAD alumni accompanied by their friends and families learned the
answers to these questions and more on June 26, 2010, during a two-hour VIP
tour of the San Diego Zoo. Escorted by zoo educators, alumni were treated to a
private bus tour that gave a first-hand opportunity to witness the various
tasks and responsibilities that go into taking care of over 2,100
animals. Read more.
