The Tri-Valley Executive Education Program combines a tailored mix of dynamic group meetings and expert speaker workshops used to help members improve collaboration, increase alignment, and cultivate professional growth.

Most Key employees leave an employer due to the management approach to their contribution. Is it time to invest in your leading employees?

• For non in-person months, learning will consist of access (live and recorded) to world class speakers presenting on currently relevant subjects. Examples from the last year include NYT best selling authors Marcus Buckingham (Love and Work) and Adam Grant (Hidden Potential) along with Randi Zuckerberg speaking at our Women in Leadership program.

PDA Concerts in the Park

Concerts in the Park series is back with a full summer of incredible music and fun for all ages! Concerts will take place every Friday night from June 7 through August 30, featuring an eclectic mix of music from rock, blues and country to 50’s and 60’s oldies, soul, and more. The free concerts run from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and take place at Lions Wayside Park on the corner of First and Neal Streets. 

Patrons are encouraged to pick up dinner “to go” from one of Downtown Pleasanton's many restaurants and bring it with them to the park. Be sure to visit the PDA’s social media pages throughout Concert in the Park season for specials and offers from the wide variety of wonderful Downtown restaurants.

While guests are allowed to put out blankets and chairs (at their own risk) in Lions Wayside and Delucchi Parks, they are asked to wait until the morning of the concert to do so. The use of rocks to hold down blankets is prohibited, as large rocks can damage lawn-mowing equipment. Also, the use of plastic tarps, which can burn the grass, is not allowed.
