The Museum of Ventura County is launching a new monthly discussion series, La Vida Local-Leadership Perspectives, featuring moderated conversations with Ventura County leaders sharing their vision for the future. The first event takes place 1-2:30 p.m., April 9, at the Ventura County Museum Plaza Pavilion, 100 East Main Street, Ventura, and will feature Ventura City Mayor Erik Nasarenko, and Mayor Tim Flynn, City of Oxnard. This first event will be free to the public and will be moderated by Kathleen Schafer, an Ojai resident who is a professional leadership coach, author and public speaker.

Subsequent events in the discussion series will take place on the second Sunday of each month. Each is designed to engage and connect the community with people in leadership positions, to build understanding of the leadership potential in each of us.
