A program to develop community leaders |
Leadership Pleasanton kicked off last week for the class of 2023. The topic for the day was Pleasanton: Then & Now. The class began with some team-building with Corporate Games at the Alameda County Fairgrounds and continued at the Museum on Main to learn a bit about Pleasanton's history. Lunch at Gay 90s followed by a walking tour downtown with the Pleasanton Downtown Association and of course a stop at the Meadowlark Dairy for ice cream. Take a look at a video from Day One of Leadership Pleasanton here.
