      <image:title>Board of Directors - Rebecca Leonard, FAICP, FASLA, CNU-A; Director</image:title>
      <image:caption>As one of the founders of WxLA, Rebecca Leonard acts as the Volunteer Program Director for our growing team of volunteers. As the CEO of her own firm, Lionheart, Rebecca leads with passion and extensive experience and we are grateful for her guidance, compassion, and involvement. “I’m one of the founding voices of WxLA, born from a moment when I realized firsthand how inequity in the workplace can impact both safety and opportunity. Alongside other women with similar experiences, we channeled our challenges into action—creating a platform that advocates for gender justice and uplifts others in our field.” Rebecca’s goal for the Volunteer Program is to grow the team at WxLA so that we can deliver more programming, with particular interest in gender-just case studies and mentorship for women leaders. She would love to sustain this organization at least until there is parity in our profession!</image:caption>

It was at this conference session that WxLA was born. As a father of an extraordinary daughter, a supporting husband, a brother to two sisters, a son, and a friend and colleague to numerous women, I know that my active participation is required to help ensure equality, not just for today but for the future.  Gender equality and equity is a challenge for everyone to resolve. Landscape architects and planners know the advantages of diversity. Our research and work have proven that without diversity, ecosystems likely become unstable. We also know that stabilizing an ecosystem doesn’t just happen. It requires active intervention.” Steven’s goal for the Fund Development team is to grow a WxLA that has greater support by individuals, firms, allied organizations, and philanthropists, eager to join the cause and make a difference.</image:caption>
