Leadership Long Beach:

Executive Quick Start

Leadership Long Beach designs each of its programs to impact all participants by developing their personal leadership skills while introducing and explaining the most important political and social aspects of the Long Beach community.

 



Program Description:

Executive Quick Start (EQS) program, an informative “Long Beach Overview,” is designed for new and incoming local executives. Participants will develop knowledge of Long Beach, its government, people, business and its diversity. The series will include panel discussions and presentations on the local business community; key companies and individuals; business services; city history and demographics; cultural diversity; educational institutions; the arts and tourism; public safety and government; and health and community services.

 

EQS creates opportunities to meet and interact with leaders of the Long Beach community, including government officials, and business executives, association officials and neighborhood leaders. EQS graduates know where to find people and resources that enhance their professional and personal experiences in Long Beach – connections that would normally take years to develop are formed in just one month. 

 

EQS is held this in just five sessions, held on consecutive Wednesdays evenings in March plus an additional Saturday session which includes a morning bus tour of the city. Dinners follow each session at local restaurants.

WHAT PAST PARTICIPANTS SAY ABOUT

 EXECUTIVE QUICK START:

 

“The Executive Quick Start series was a very informative seminar. I gained knowledge about the Long Beach community and insight into the city and its issues. I had the opportunity to meet the people who make Long Beach work; the leaders of the city government, art groups, charities, and business organizations. I recommend this program to anyone who wants to make contacts in Long Beach for their professional life.”

“I particularly like the interface between the government and private industry. It made networking that much more valuable between these two entities.
