Corporate Council
The Corporate Council was created to introduce Los Angeles business leaders and professionals to Good Shepherd Center, the issues of homelessness, and to provide a way that they can support programs that help women to become self-sufficient members of our community. Members of the Corporate Council make a financial commitment to Good Shepherd Center’s employment services programs. These programs are designed to help women re-enter the workforce through job development, training, case management and referral services.
The Corporate Council is led by board members from Southern California Edison, Morgan Stanley Smith Barney, Wells Fargo Bank and US Bank. We seek business men and women who want to make a difference by helping to give homeless women the skills and resources they need to become productive members of the community.
