The ALI is geared toward community college vice-chancellors,
vice presidents, and other cabinet-level administrators with
at least two years of experience in a high-level administrative
role. Candidates should bring a growth orientation, be
equity-oriented, student-centered, and interested in disrupting
structural barriers (processes, practices, and mindsets). While
the ALI is aimed at future leaders of the California Community
Colleges and will thus draw its cohorts from those now working in
higher education in California, we will consider strong
candidates from out of state or out of system who are looking to
transition to a CEO role in California.
Selection Process
A cohort of 20-25 aspiring leaders will be
selected based on their breadth of experience, geographic
and institutional representation, diversity of backgrounds and
roles, and application materials.
Application Window for 2025
The application window for 2025 is now closed. Applications for
2026 will open in September of 2025.
