About
Urban Preserve started the way most gardens do, with a tiny seed and patience, and the belief that creativity and connection are at the heart of good leadership. Starting with a series of independent contracts in late 2024, including work with Leading Resources, Inc. on engagements for clients such as San Joaquin County and large public and private sector organizations, the practice has grown into a platform that brings together leaders to build organizational capacity with support and resources.
