...as a local, nonprofit entity, whose goal is to empower men who are placed in positions of leadership here in San Diego and network them in small, highly confidential, invitation-only forums of their peers. The desire is to create a safe place to experience deep authentic relationships among likeminded influencers - a personal board of directors, as it were, to be encouraged by a personal Chaplain - Matthew Booker, and to help leaders engage their passions in order to have an eternal impact.
