The Advancement & Engagement team plays a central role in advancing LAEDC’s mission to foster equitable economic growth across the Los Angeles region. We lead the development of experiences, relationships, and narratives that build trust and deepen engagement, strategically amplifying LAEDC’s impact by leveraging the expertise of every department.

We shape how LAEDC shows up across the region by strategizing and executing public touchpoints—from events and partnerships to digital campaigns, storytelling, and stakeholder outreach—that reflect the organization’s mission, values, and vision. Our work ensures that the tone, message, and quality of engagement align with LAEDC’s core values of Partnership, Audacity, Championing, Groundedness, and Transformation, while embracing the opportunities of a rapidly evolving digital economy. By translating internal priorities into external opportunities, aligning stakeholders, and designing experiences that inspire action, we build consensus and catalyze results, amplifying LAEDC’s impact and advancing shared goals.

We design and maintain the digital infrastructure that powers LAEDC’s engagement, tracking stakeholder interactions, capturing insights from events and campaigns, and enabling targeted, scalable outreach. This infrastructure allows us to work with precision and flexibility across a region as dynamic as Los Angeles. As the connective tissue between LAEDC and the region, we translate complex, cross-sector work into trust, visibility, and lasting outcomes.
