LSRV is excited to announce the 2021 Best Class Ever alumni fundraising contest! Whether your contribution is $10 or $100, the class with the most participants wins the trophy. As a graduate of Leadership San Ramon Valley, you are aware that each day the lives of the residents of the San Ramon Valley are positively impacted by graduates like yourself. From educators to business leaders, to public servants, to non-profit directors, and to community board members/volunteers, Leadership San Ramon Valley alumni are involved in making this valley a special place to live and work. We “paused” the program for the pandemic and have just completed the remaining classes for the Class of 2020-2021.  To engage our alumni and to continue to provide value during the pandemic, we launched the Graduate Speaker Series, providing a monthly opportunity to get together on Zoom to hear community leaders and alumni discuss interesting and relevant topics.  We are counting on this year’s Best Class Ever alumni fundraising contest to help us cover our “bare bones” expenses for this year. If you answered our call for support since last spring, your donation will be counted toward this Best Class Ever contest; and if you wish to donate again, we will gladly accept it.  We are ordering hats embroidered with the LSRV logo.  Anyone who donates $100 or more will receive a hat as a thank you.
