Why Corporate Partnership?

Cleveland Leadership Center Corporate Partners have the vision and passion to use their resources and abilities for the greater good of our region. Partners – those who make charitable donations or become CLC event sponsors – help build a robust network of leaders across generations to advance our region now and into the future.

Civically engaged leaders develop a shared sense of purpose that strengthens their ability to address community challenges and strengthens their impact in their workplaces.
