Shaping Cleveland’s leaders. Shaping Cleveland’s future.

Every three years, Cleveland Leadership Center turns to its unrivaled alumni network for the ultimate insider perspective on leadership. Each survey cycle is a pivotal moment that helps ensure CLC’s programs, events, and offerings evolve to meet our community’s needs.

In less than 10 minutes, alumni share insights from their real-world leadership experience to influence how we prepare the next generation of leaders. The power of alumni feedback is already evident: their 2022 responses sparked amazing transformations including the creation of Alumni Resource Circles (ARCs), major curriculum upgrades, informed our Vision 2035 strategic plan.

Last year, all CLC programs showed increases across evaluation indicators, with graduates reporting enhanced civic understanding, stronger relationship-building skills, improved collaborative leadership abilities, and increased civic readiness. Now, hundreds of alumni are:

  • Reflecting on how their CLC experience(s) have shaped their current leadership.
  • Highlighting how their leadership has evolved since graduation.
  • Spotlighting the skills that matter most today.
  • Sharing collaborations or projects that sprouted from your CLC experience or network.

These insights directly inform how CLC stays cutting-edge, relevant, and connected to our community’s real needs: all instrumental in developing leaders who are ready for tomorrow’s biggest challenges.

Explore our impact and, if you’re a CLC graduate, share your insights to help write Cleveland’s next leadership chapter.
