Overview
The need for an informed, engaged civic leadership to address the issues of this region has never been greater. To help address this need, the Cleveland Leadership Center has built the Civic Leadership Institute – an educational program series that exposes participants, in a short period, to a comprehensive view of our region’s social, economic, business and political issues.

All sessions have the following agenda:
