Getting Involved

There a lot of ways to get involved within your community. If you think that Leadership Santa Maria is a program that you or someone you know will benefit from, please take the opportunity to complete an application. You will be contacted by a LSMV Board member.

If you still have questions about our organization, please feel free to contact our office. Please leave a message and we will contact you within 24 hours. We can be reached at 805-934-5956.

If you don't feel that you can commit to the time needed for this program, or would like to contribute to your community in another way, there are plenty of ways you can still pitch in!

A number of local companies, organizations, and individuals contribute to their community each year. Common ways are:

• Provide a scholarship for another person to participate in LSMV.
• Sponsor a Topic Day by donating a location, lunch, etc.
• Volunteer for one of the many non-profits in our community.

Leadership Santa Maria Valley would not exist if not for the time and energy of volunteers in our community. We hope you will consider joining us in continuing that tradition. If you are interested in any of the above methods of participation, please use the contact information below to get in touch with us.
