Julia Erdkamp, Director

Slalom, Irvine

Julia Erdkamp is a brilliant strategist continuing to help local companies and government agencies navigate some of the most difficult times. When COVID hit, local agencies all over Southern California reached out to her to determine next steps. Her insights and leadership have had an immeasurable impact on local agencies, communities, and businesses. One of the most impactful achievements has been Erdkamp's development of a municipal leadership program. State and local leaders from around California attend her cohorts to learn how to bring business and financial acumen to local government. She built this program on her own, and eventually reached such a level of success that it is now hosted by CSU, Fullerton. One person at a time, she is building better leaders who will ultimately make better decisions to shape our communities.
