LFM Alumni Network

Stay connected. Keep learning. Keep leading.

The Leading from the Middle (LFM) Alumni Network is an interactive, equity-minded community for graduates of the LFM Academy. It exists to sustain the relationships, skills, and momentum developed through LFM so alumni can continue learning, leading, and supporting one another across roles and colleges.

Why the Alumni Network

Leadership doesn’t end when the LFM Academy does. The LFM Alumni Network creates space for ongoing connection, reflection, and shared learning so that middle leaders can continue advancing equity and student success across California community colleges.
