Wheelhouse ALI Who Should Apply

ALI: Who should apply?

Application and Selection Process

Overview
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 two-month application window for the 2025 ALI is open from September 15th – December 13th, 2024. Ready to apply? Submit your application here.
