Established in 1981, LEAD San Diego is one of the oldest and most prestigious community leadership organizations in the nation and is highly regarded throughout the greater San Diego region. LEAD’s influential members represent all sectors of the San Diego community and are dedicated to providing leadership that is dynamic, meaningful, and relevant. Each year, the organization selects a small group of approximately 55 promising individuals to participate in a yearlong series of seminars, hands-on learning experiences, and community service projects designed to give participants a broad perspective of the unique issues facing our region.
As a longtime resident of San Diego an an active community member, Ms. Hertzog was chosen for membership in LEAD’s 2009 class based on her demonstration of community involvement, knowledge of the region, and a commitment to service and leadership in both her professional and civic life.
