PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2025

I would like to express how excited I am about the future of our organization. With Kashari Jones as Vice President and a strong and diverse Executive Council, we have bold and thoughtful leaders guiding us. Your Council brings a wealth of experience and a vision for County leadership that I know will serve us well.

This past year, LACMC has made meaningful strides, from launching a new website store and expanding training opportunities, to developing opportunities for personal and professional connections. These efforts reflect the collective strength and determination of leaders across the County.

As your President, my priorities are straightforward: to ensure LACMC remains relevant and responsive to the evolving needs of our diverse community, and to make sure every voice within LACMC is heard and valued. I am committed to the vision of “Creating and Strengthening Leaders” and I will continue to highlight our three pillars:

1. Membership
2. Mentoring
3. Communication

Whether you’re just beginning your journey into management or have been in a leadership role for years, I want to assure every member your work matters. You are the backbone of this County, and LACMC exists to support, amplify, and serve you.

Together, we will support one another in shaping the future of Los Angeles County Leadership.

For those of you who attended our TopGolf event in July, I hope you had a great time reconnecting with old friends and making new ones. Our next event will be our Fall Conference “Belonging by Design – Building Inclusive Systems for Impactful Leadership” at Almansor Court on October 30, 2025.

I look forward to seeing you at another great event and an opportunity for us all to reconnect.

Best regards,

Ricardo D. García
President, Los Angeles County Management Council
