Be in the know
You want to be in the know about things happening right now that will affect the long-term future of our city and region. This is a special, one-time, opportunity for CLC alumni to get behind the scenes access and learn about pivotal topics in the community.
Cleveland is changing rapidly and whether you’re a recent grad or more than a decade removed from your CLC program experience, these sessions will provide you with new, up-to-the-moment information and exclusive access to some of the hottest topics and projects in the city.
It is also a fantastic way to meet other CLC alums and expand your network.
The four sessions will take you on a dive deep into waterfront development, the current state of Cleveland’s media/press, public safety, and major projects. Sessions will be hosted at various locations around the city – details will be shared ahead of each session.
