Leadership Hermosa Beach was founded in 2003 as a community-based organization that conducts an annual leadership training program to residents in and around Hermosa Beach, California. The purpose of the program has been to foster a life-long love for our city by educating existing and potential leaders within the City of Hermosa Beach. Since its inception, Leadership Hermosa Beach has better prepared local citizens to become more informed and prepared to seek out and accept leadership roles in the community. For example, graduates of the Leadership Hermosa Beach program have become members of City Council, City Commissions, and the local School Board, as well as nearly every service organization in town.
