We’re excited to celebrate the inaugural cohort of the State of Engagement Fellows — a group of leaders from across California state government working to advance civic engagement, participatory policymaking, and community outreach.

This new fellowship brings together mid-to-senior-level leaders to:
✨ Build stronger cross-agency relationships
📊 Learn evidence-based engagement practices
💡 Pilot innovative models to better serve Californians

We’re proud to share that three LCI and SGC team members are part of this cohort:
🌱 Phoenix Armenta, Policy Innovation Team Lead, Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation
🌱Fabián Pérez-Gove, Health and Equity Program Manager
🌱 Anna Jane Jones, Program Manager, Community Resilience Centers, California Strategic Growth Council

The 17 fellows represent a wide range of expertise — from health and environment to education, workforce, justice, and Tribal relations — all working toward more inclusive, responsive governance.

📅 The fellowship runs May 2026 – May 2027 and will support fellows through workshops, mentorship, and collaboration, culminating in a Sacramento showcase.

📍Thank you to everyone who joined us today at @ucmerced for the San Joaquin Valley Catalyst Convening!

🫱🏼‍🫲🏾 Hosted by LCI and the California Strategic Growth Council (SGC), this full-day convening brought together regional leaders, Tribal representatives, community-based organizations, and state partners to move forward community-driven climate and land use solutions.

💡 Through interactive workshops and discussions guided by @ucpossibility I.M.P.A.C.T. model, participants shared regional priorities, explored resources and funding opportunities, and helped co-create actionable strategies to strengthen climate resilience across the San Joaquin Valley.

🌱 From highlighting local case studies to advancing insights from California’s Fifth Climate Change Assessment, this convening is part of a statewide effort to turn collaboration into impact—shaping real regionally tailored solutions that will inform future work.
