Dear Readers,
As the holiday season arrives, many in the professional world use philanthropy as a way to give back to the communities they do business in. In that spirit, November’s Business by LA Times Studios magazine is spotlighting giving in all of its forms, from exploring donor-advised funds to a list of the top philanthropic gifts in Southern California this year.

Continuing along this theme, this issue spotlights charitable organizations that do their good work in Southern California and beyond and support a wide variety of causes, from mental health awareness to childhood services and humanitarian aid.
This issue also features insights and updates from the world of Southern California’s many business paths, including how California’s landmark AI legislation is shaping the legal landscape nationwide, how HR departments are encouraging employees to get up to speed with the latest tech and the most recent numbers highlighting the region’s commercial real estate outlook.
