Torrance Area Chamber of Commerce’s 2024 Leadership Torrance Program recently visited the Refinery for their Manufacturing Day session, which is just one of the many class field trips organized for the emerging leaders.
The class toured the plant, learned about refining processes and safety enhancements throughout the refinery, and how gasoline is transformed from crude oil to the finished products people rely on to make their modern life possible. An insightful talk by Refinery Manager Sara Wilson was the highlight of their visit, sharing her career experiences and providing guidance on leadership style.
Leadership Torrance is an annual six-month program focused on developing effective leaders from across the South Bay by encouraging community connections through partnerships with City officials and local businesses. Each year the Refinery sends a few employees to participate in the program and usually sponsors an emerging leader from a nonprofit partner organization as well.
