70 Community Leaders gather to advance "the 101
Corridor"
Seventy civic and community leaders from Ventura and Los Angeles
Counties met at Sherwood Country Club on Friday, September 8,
2006 for what was billed as "The Inaugural 101 Leaders Summit"
for non-profit and charity leaders.
This event springs from The 101 Leaders Alliance, an entity
created by Jim Cathcart, author and professional speaker from
Thousand Oaks in 2003, to advance the quality of life within the
region from Calabasas through Ventura along Highway 101. "These
twelve communities contain over half a million people and enjoy
one of the highest quality of life ratings in the nation,"
according to Cathcart. He says that, "In order to sustain and
enhance our region we must value the leaders we now have and
train many more to take their place." That is the purpose of the
"Alliance."
Professional fund raiser and business coach Jeff Tanenbaum of
Westlake Village joins Mr. Cathcart in this venture. Together
they are connecting the providers and the leaders in order to
reach out to others aspiring to lead. They have reached out to
the universities, civic groups, consultants, businesses and
government offices to provide needed resources.
