BLAAC holds an annual Race Relations Summit where Monterey County leaders come together to discuss race relations within local government. The event is attended by the Mayors from Monterey and Santa Cruz counties, all school districts’ supervisors, county supervisors, several local police chiefs, healthcare executives, educators, scholars, and California State Assembly Members. Dr. Linda McKenzie presented a clear, practical framework for practicing empathy in leadership, including tailored interactive scenarios that helped participants confront the feelings that sustain division and bias. Her ability to clarify complex concepts and inspire leaders across professions is exactly what our communities need to move forward. This workshop supported our mission to dismantle ignorance and hatred, and to build systems rooted in justice and compassion.
