Applicants to ELI are expected to serve in senior leadership positions in community colleges and to be qualified for a presidency
by their educational and experiential backgrounds.
The typical applicant will hold an advanced degree and will have three or more years of experience as a senior-level administrator
in a community college, usually reporting to the CEO at the campus or district level. ELI is designed primarily for those who have not yet served
in a presidency. However, new community college CEOs and those contemplating a transition will also find ELI extremely valuable. Participants are
selected from qualified applicants by a national review committee of established presidents.
The Executive Leadership Institute is an intensive, weeklong experience, with session formats varying by topic and purpose.
Participants should expect to immerse themselves in the seminar from Sunday morning until Friday noon. In order to gain the largest advantage
from the program, it is recommended that participants not attempt to fulfill their job responsibilities during the institute week. Family members
are not encouraged to attend.
The application deadline for ELI 2009 has passed. Applications for ELI 2010 will be accepted March 15-July 31, 2010.
All qualified applicants are urged to apply. Participants do not need to be
employed at League Alliance Member institutions. International applications are welcome. The review panel does not discriminate on the basis of
race, creed, color, religion, gender, national origin, ancestry, sexual orientation, age, marital status, political affiliation, disability,
or any other factor protected by law.
“The institute has energized me to reflect on my current position, to better assess next steps in my career pathway, and added clarity about whether a presidency is right for me. I truly valued and appreciated the discussions and feedback from a diverse group of colleagues and faculty. This was a great opportunity.”
Timothy J. Price, Deputy to the Senior Vice Chancellor, Minnesota State Colleges and Universities, Class of 2007
“Beyond the valuable information from the stellar faculty, the conversations stimulated deep personal reflection. The ELI has provided avenues for self development and strong networking. The institute exceeded my expectations.”
Sandra Massey, Provost, Northeast Campus, Tulsa Community College, Class of 2007
"I enjoyed the breadth and depth of the presentations. The experience forced me to take an introspective review of my skill set and career experiences regarding my interest in a presidency. In networking with other colleagues from across the country I have developed friendships that I will cherish! It was a wonderful experience that I will remember forever."
Timothy A. Alvarez, Assistant Vice Chancellor, Student Affairs, University of Nebraska-Lincoln,
ELI Class of 2006
