Leadership SouthCoast provided me with an insider’s perspective on the region that I would never have experienced in any other program. Even though I now work on Cape Cod, I’m able to have a full regional perspective on issues, and this is all due to having been a part of LSC.

The talent and dedication I experienced among LSC alumni and affiliates was nothing short of astonishing, and bringing seasoned and emerging leaders together over issues that most to the growth and health of the region is essential work. I am grateful to have been part of it.
