An initiative of the United Way of Ventura County, the academy has, since 1994, offered a unique learning experience to those who live or work in Ventura County. Participants meet 15 times over a nine-month period to learn about timely regional issues and meet with key decision makers from the county's public, private and nonprofit sectors.
