The Community Leadership Institute (CLI) was developed to provide IDSA’s Chapter and Section leaders with practical, professional development training that is relevant to their role as IDSA community leaders, but also in their own personal career growth. 2022 will include diversity, equity, and inclusion practices, attracting and getting sponsors, volunteer engagement, and strategic planning for community success.

Past Training Sessions
Event Sponsorship Success: Creating Lasting Partnerships
hosted by Swaim Strategies | June 30
This training provided a deep immersion into the critical fundraising area of sponsorships, and how to strategically and creatively look at the ways development teams are building relationships with some of their largest stakeholders. Attendees looked into creating a system of mindful stewardship to not only engage the support that their mission and work deserve, but also to turn that support into lasting partnerships to fuel their work moving forward.
Mastering an Inclusive Mindset

Mastering an Inclusive Mindset was designed to ignite the development of competencies and traits that are critical for inclusion, such as cognitive flexibility, bias awareness, style-flexing, curiosity, and cross-cultural relationship building. Workshop learning objectives included:
- Raising awareness for the unique nature of inclusion in a complex, modern environment and how it can lead to the achievement of your mission
- Understanding how implicit bias and other blind spots can interfere with one’s ability to behave and make decisions in inclusive and productive ways
- Learning about your capacity for inclusion and the specific competencies and traits that are vital to an inclusive mindset with a self-assessment
- Building an action plan of personal and organizational strategies to help build an inclusive culture
