LEED was founded nearly 20 years ago as a coalition of regional business, education, community and government leaders working together to develop and support partnerships to strengthen the Sacramento regional economy through strategic alignment of educational resources to meet regional workforce needs and economic objectives. LEED was founded by volunteer leaders of the Sacramento Metro Chamber of Commerce who realized that a prepared, educated workforce was a critical ingredient to overall economic prosperity. LEED is governed by a Board of Directors comprised of top level leaders – educators, employers and civic partners–from the six county Sacramento region.
