    THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LEADERSHIP NETWORK (THE ORGANIZATION OR SCLN) WAS FOUNDED IN 1987 AS A CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT CORPORATION. IN 2006, LEADERSHIP L.A. AND SCLN JOINED FORCES IN A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE LOS ANGELES AREA CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (THE "CHAMBER"). PROGRAMS MERGED UNDER ONE UMBRELLA ORGANIZATION, THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA LEADERSHIP NETWORK. SCLN FACILITATES THREE CIVIC LEADERSHIP FELLOWSHIPS. LEADERSHIP L.A. AND LEADERSHIP SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA INCLUDE ISSUES-BASED LEARNING, LEADERSHIP SKILL DEVELOPMENT AND NETWORKING ACTIVITIES FOR COMMUNITY, REGIONAL AND STATEWIDE LEADERS. SCLN ALSO FACILITATES THE RIORDAN LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (RLI). RLI IS A NINE-MONTH FELLOWSHIP THAT PREPARES EARLY TO MID-CAREER PROFESSIONALS TO SERVE ON NONPROFIT BOARDS AND WAS PREVIOUSLY HOUSED AT THE L.A. JUNIOR CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. IN ADDITION, SCLN CARRIES OUT PROGRAMMING THAT SUPPORTS THE ONGOING NETWORKING AND EDUCATIONAL NEEDS OF ITS 3,000+ ALUMNI.IN 2020, SCLN IMPLEMENTED ALL THREE OF ITS PROGRAMS VIRTUALLY AND ADJUSTED RECRUITMENT GOALS IN RESPONSE TO THE EXPECTED DECREASE OF PARTICIPANTS DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC. NEW PARTICIPANT GOALS FOR ALL THREE PROGRAMS WAS 30 FELLOWS. LEADERSHIP L.A. AND RLI MET OR EXCEEDED THESE NEW GOALS WITH 39 AND 33 FELLOWS, RESPECTIVELY. ALTHOUGH LEADERSHIP SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA DID NOT MEET PARTICIPANT GOALS, THE PROGRAM EXCEEDED THE ORIGINAL SPONSORSHIP GOAL. IN ADDITION, THROUGH THE STRATEGIC AND COLLABORATIVE EFFORTS OF THE SCLN BOARD, ALUMNI, STAFF AND PARTNERS, THE ORGANIZATION CONTINUED TO SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASE THE DIVERSITY OF ALL THREE PROGRAMS, REACHING A GREATER NUMBER OF UNDERREPRESENTED COMMUNITIES, AS WELL AS NEW INDUSTRIES AND SECTORS THAT HAVE NOT PARTICIPATED IN THE PAST. IN ADDITION TO ENSURING PROGRAMMATIC STABILITY, IN 2020, SCLN FOCUSED ON THE FINANCIAL SUSTAINABILITY OF THE ORGANIZATION, INCLUDING LEVERAGING DECREASED EXPENSES FROM DELIVERING PROGRAMS VIRTUALLY, ACCESSING AVAILABLE COVID-19 FUNDS AND INCREASING SPONSORSHIP. SCLN APPLIED FOR AND WAS GRANTED A PPP LOAN, SIGNIFICANTLY DECREASED EXPENSES AND SAW AN INCREASE IN CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP ENABLING THE ORGANIZATION TO RETAIN STAFFING LEVELS WITHOUT INTERRUPTION THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. IN ADDITION, SCLN HELD ITS ANNUAL VISIONARIES AWARDS VIRTUALLY, WHICH EXCEEDED ADJUSTED SPONSORSHIP GOAL.
