The California 100 Commission
The California 100 Commission draws on an extraordinary group of leaders who reflect diversity by region and industry, and the perspectives of communities who have been historically marginalized or excluded. Many of the commissioners will be next generation leaders, providing opportunities for intergenerational learning and mentoring. The Commission will help advance our vision and strategy for California’s next century by providing strategic feedback and hosting listening sessions across the state.
