Planning Commissioner Leigh Anne-Jones was honored by the Los Angeles Business Journal as one of LA’s most influential women in construction and design. Throughout her career, Jones has provided direction and opportunities for women and under-represented populations in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. She is an active mentor within DLR Group (an integrated design firm) where she supports several architects who seek guidance and direction at all levels of their career. She has been involved with industry leadership and Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) efforts and believes the profession improves with diverse involvement. She is also a regular design critic at Mira Costa College and the Art Center of Design in Pasadena and is on the Architecture Department Advisory Committee at San Bernardino Valley College.

Jones is also committed to making her community a better place to live and the AEC industry a better place to work.
