SAN DIEGO — On June 12, San Diego Business Journal (SDBJ) lit up its pages with pride; the publication honored its 2023 Top 50 LGBTQ+ Leaders of Influence honorees with a special edition highlighting the various San Diegan leaders’ accomplishments during Pride Month. ECS also beamed with pride as two of our outstanding leaders graced the honoree list: La Monica Everett-Haynes, ECS board member, and Timothy Whipple, ECS Development Director.
Everett-Haynes is the Associate Vice President and Chief Communications Officer for Strategic Communications and Public Affairs at San Diego State University (SDSU). ECS has prospered from her dedicated service on the board and her constant devotion to diversity, equity, and inclusion.
Whipple started his position as Development Director just five months ago but has been serving ECS with his innovative and inspiring efforts for over five years. His work with the Emerging Leaders program, the Moonlight Ball, and overall philanthropic efforts for ECS has greatly impacted the organization.
ECS is thrilled to commemorate the accomplishments of Everett-Haynes and Whipple and to celebrate the incredible impact of the LGBTQ+ community in the San Diego region.
