About the Presidio Institute
The Presidio Institute was established in 2013 as an
initiative of the Presidio Trust, an innovative federal
agency that transformed the Presidio of San Francisco
from a military post to a national park site through
cross sector collaboration.
Through the Presidio Institute, businesses, nonprofits,
government agencies, foundations, and academic
institutions invested in their problem solvers and
gained a new lens on leadership. The Presidio
Institute’s unique training methodology reinvigorated
organizations’ leadership culture by inspiring a
collaborative mindset, imparting new skills, and
bridging divides through collaboration across sectors.
During its four years, the Presidio Institute convened
more than 3,000 leaders and trained 1,600 problem
solvers in person and online through its Presidio
Institute Fellows, Cross Sector Leadership Boot Camp,
and online LEADEROSITY programs.
The Presidio Institute’s work concluded in
November 2017. This Final
Report highlights the institute’s impact and
identifies ways that others can continue catalyzing the
cross sector leadership movement.

About the Federal Advisory Council
On October 2012, the Presidio Trust formed a Federal
Advisory Council (FAC) to provide ongoing advice and
support in activating the vision of the National Center
for Service and Innovative Leadership (NCSIL). Chaired
by Toby Rosenblatt, the first Presidio Trust Board
Chair, and co-chaired by Karen Baker, Chief Service
Officer for Governor Jerry Brown, the council encouraged
a focus on leadership training, knowledge development,
and building a strong network of champions through
convening. In 2013, NCSIL became the Presidio Institute.
In March 2017, the FAC met for the last time. In November
2017 the Presidio Institute ceased its operations having
achieved its primary goals. Please view the right
