The Civic Leadership Institute (CLI) was created to address the need for more civic participation, voting, and electoral representation by one of the nation's fastest growing ethnic groups - the Asian American and Pacific Islander (AAPI) community, as well as create a path for motivated and promising AAPI leaders to seek and secure elected and appointed positions at the local, state and federal levels. Through the CLI, we seek to provide the spark for meaningful discussions on public policy issues important to AAPI communities, and to also provide participants with a skill set and knowledge that will allow them to become effective advocates for the policies and communities they seek to represent.
Leadership Education for Asian Pacifics, Inc. (LEAP) is proud to announce the schedule for our 2007 Civic Leadership Institute (CLI) programs!
