Classified Leadership Institute

Introduction to CLI, Presentations, Links to Next Year's and Past Events

The annual Classified Leadership Institute (CLI) focuses on effective classified participation in shared governance processes, both state-wide and at the local district and college levels. Participants attending the CLI conference will explore numerous events that encourage personal development, leadership, and strong communication skills, leading toward increased confidence, enhanced professional skills, and broad-based knowledge and specific updates about our California Community Colleges. Activities include both interactive and informational sessions with ample time for networking and workshops where newly acquired skills can be utilized in a supportive environment. CLI is designed to meet the educational needs of today's California Community College Classified Staff.

CLI features a new schedule of workshops each year, including leadership development and networking opportunities to help you meet the challenges of the times and return refreshed and reenergized. When it becomes available, download the "Save The Date" Flyer to assist you in planning to attend. Need financial help to attend, classified staff are invited to apply for the CLI Scholarships offered each year. Download the application and submit it before the deadline.

Please visit the following links for specific events. Additional information for future and past events will be added as soon as it is availble. If you have pictures of previous events and would be willing to share them to 4CS, please email Cari Plyley or contact your 4CS Area Representative.
