This week, LISC LA hosted the LISC Western Regional Retreat at the Sheraton Grand Hotel in Downtown Los Angeles. This two-day event brought together leadership from our western region offices, including Houston LISC, LISC Phoenix, Duluth LISC (Local Initiatives Support Corporation), LISC Bay Area, LISC San Antonio, LISC San Diego, LISC Twin Cities, LISC Puget Sound, and LISC Hawai'i.

During the retreat, we engaged in strategic visioning and learning about focus areas set by our national office, sharing best practices and insights with our counterparts. Our collective mission remains steadfast: to work with residents and partners to help forge resilient and inclusive communities of opportunity across America – great places to live, work, visit, do business, and raise families.

Our retreat culminated with a reception that included our key community stakeholders and business partners. We were also privileged to have executive leadership from the Local Initiatives Support Corporation (LISC) national office join us. We were delighted to host our colleagues in the great city of Los Angeles, and we look forward to future gatherings!
