In 1983, a group of civic-minded individuals gathered at the home of Gloria Sawtell to talk about developing a leadership program for Santa Fe. The group included: Mary Carole Wertheim, Bernie Beenhouwer, Marcia Canepa, and Alan Jordan. Many of you will recognize the names as individuals who continued to serve our community as city councilors, mentors and business people. We are proud to continue in the path carved by these pioneers.
 The program took a hiatus of several years from 2001 to 2006. From 2005 onwards, the planning of a Class of 2007 began under a new Board of Directors which included Charlotte Pollard, Rosemary Romero, Gregg Bemis, Peter Pacheco, Craig De Forest, Nic Smith, Larry Mengden, Natalie Fitzgerald, Philip Crump, Carla Lopez, Lynne Canning and Carl Moore. The tireless work and support of these people brought LSF to life again.
In 2009 the program came under the wing of the Santa Fe Chamber of Commerce' 501(c)3 wing - The Santa Fe Chamber Opportunities Fund, Inc. A new Program Advisory Council was established which included J.D. Bullington, Craig DeForest, and several alumni (for a full list, click here) whose purpose is to shepherd the program, develop the curriculum and reconnect with graduates.
