Leadership And Communication Experience (LACE) started in Founders District as an enhancement to the district officer training. While serving as Founder's District LGET, Lou Ann Frederick, DTM, approached District Governor Gladys Flint, DTM, and offered her idea for an event that would give members leadership and communication enhancement workshops in addition to quality officer training. The driving inspiration was to offer education in an informal environment at a low cost to the members. The first LACE event was hosted in 1993 at the Crystal Cathedral in Garden Grove, California.
