Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Santa Rosa
Dec. 02, 2021
Len will be speaking on the “Caritas Center” and has this to say about his experience: My background is unique for this position. I spent most of my career in the laser industry working in aerospace, commercial lasers, and consulting. When working as independent consultant, I had the need, and the opportunity, to give back through Catholic Charities. My technical and business career surprisingly prepared me for this job – managing people, complex budget, managing government-funded programs, acquisition of funding, marketing and so on. The call to help our neighbors drew me to Catholic Charities to serve as a volunteer. Soon I join the Board of Directors. When my predecessor resigned, I accepted the position as interim Executive Director, fully expecting a 3-month commitment. Well, once I became so involved, I knew that this is what I must do. So, I became a candidate for the position, and now I have been CEO for CCDSR in Santa Rosa since 2014. This is the best job I’ve ever had! |

Who doesn’t love Disneyland almost more than life itself, have nothing but fond memories of checking out of reality for a day and exploring the greatest amusement park in the world?

Her most recent book, “Walt’s Disneyland: A Walk in The Park with Walt Disney” has just been released and is an excellent read, giving the history and background of every “Land”, street and building in the park. Marcy will be our speaker Thursday morning, March 17th , so get your questions ready and invite everyone you know who loves Disneyland (that’s probably most of the planet)! Pick up a copy of the book locally at Copperfields or on Amazon for the Disneyphiles in your life. |
