The Future Leaders of Our Community (FLOC) was established in May, 2009, by Co-Founder and Executive Director Shawn Wehan in response to the need for a community-based organization that bridged the gap between young professionals and nonprofits. Since its inception, FLOC has partnered and brought greater awareness to more than 350 local organizations, raising more than $1.5 million in donations, serving over 240,000 volunteer hours and engaging over 4,000 young professionals.  Its philanthropic online platform called Givsum (“giving summary”), launched in 2015, is a one-stop source for volunteers, nonprofits, organizations and corporations and has raised more than $500,000 for local organizations and causes. What began as a small effort amongst friends in Orange County has grown throughout Southern California and is now operating chapters in San Diego and Los Angeles, with planned chapters in major cities around the country.

Laura Davick’s parents met as tent campers at Crystal Cove in 1940, and in 1960, when Davick was a year old, moved into Cottage #2 to raise their family. Davick has dedicated her life to protecting and preserving Crystal Cove State Park and the Historic District so that future generations of families can also enjoy it. She founded Crystal Cove Alliance (CCA) in 1999 to stop a planned luxury resort, and the alliance went on to become Crystal Cove State Park’s official nonprofit partner and lodging and food service concessionaire. CCA, through its subsidiary Crystal Cove Beach Cottages, now manages the overnight cottage rentals in the Historic District.  Through her role as CAA Vice President, Davick remains focused on restoring the final 17 cottages and her leadership role in fundraising and innovative educational programming and conservation, which has led to one of the most successful public-private partnership models in California State Park history.
