LIA Overview
| Leaders in Action (LIA) is a program to train and prepare upper-level managers to become executives. The program is a partnership between the Southern Area Consortium of Human Services (SACHS), San Diego State University, and the Academy for Professional Excellence.

The southern California county agencies participating in Leaders in Action include: |  |
- Imperial County Department of Social Services
- Los Angeles Department of Children & Family Services
- Los Angeles Department of Public Social Services
- Orange County Social Service Agency
- Riverside Department of Public Social Services
- San Bernardino Human Services System
- Santa Barbara Social Services Department

The program’s ultimate goal is to create a critical mass of highly competent executives in the southern region ready for tomorrow’s county leadership opportunities and challenges.
