Workshop 3: Housing and Transportation Day 🏘✈ Workshop 3: Housing and Transportation Day 🏘✈️

The LT class participants had an insightful day exploring the critical connections between housing and transportation. We toured @johnwayneair and heard from Airport Director Charlene Reynolds and Richard Steele to dive into OC's air operations. Our discussions with local housing organization like @familiesforward highlighted the pressing challenges our community faces with affordable housing.

Thank you to our speakers, sponsors, and partners:

Happy Holidays from Leadership Tomorrow Orange Cou Happy Holidays from Leadership Tomorrow Orange County!🎄🎉

As we reflect on the year behind us, we’re filled with gratitude for the incredible leaders across our rich and diverse Orange County community who continue to show up, lean in, and lead with purpose.

Through Leadership Tomorrow, civic, nonprofit, business, and education leaders come together not just to learn, but to serve. And because of that collective leadership, important causes across Orange County are stronger, more connected, and better equipped to meet real community needs.

From housing and healthcare to education, arts, public safety, and social services, the impact of engaged leadership expands far beyond any single program. It shows up in collaboration, understanding, and through leaders who choose to serve something bigger than themselves.

As the year comes to a close, we want to remind our community that it’s not too late to include Leadership Tomorrow in your end-of-year giving. Leadership Tomorrow Orange County is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, and all contributions are tax-deductible. To support, visit https://www.leadershiptomorrow.org/donations/ 

Your support helps develop a better Orange County.

Thank you for being part of this community, this mission, and this moment.
Here’s to continued leadership, shared impact, and a bright year ahead.

🌿 Living the LT Brand — Together at ShadeTree 🌿 Living the LT Brand — Together at ShadeTree

This past weekend, Leadership Tomorrow alumni, families, and friends got their hands dirty at ShadeTree, the UCI plant nursery sponsored by IRWD.

Together, we replanted, refreshed, and reconnected — continuing our shared commitment to grow strong roots in our community.

It wasn’t just about plants; it was about people. Alumni reconnected with classmates, introduced their families, and lived out what Leadership Tomorrow stands for:
💛 Staying connected beyond the program
💪 Turning leadership into local action
🌱 Investing time and energy where it matters most

ShadeTree’s mission is to cultivate a greener, more sustainable future through community involvement and environmental stewardship — values that align perfectly with the LT spirit.

When we work side by side, we don’t just plant trees — we grow community.
