CCL Alumni

CCL graduates comprise a diverse network of community leaders from business, non-profits, government and education. For a list of graduates, click here.

After you graduate, you will join a diverse network of over 1,000 Leadership Grand Rapids, Inside Grand Rapids, Download GR and Leadership Advantage alumni. The numerous community contacts you acquire will benefit you long after you graduate from the program.

In the 2009/2010 program year, alumni will have the opportunity to participate in a Community Trustee Project.  Projects will begin in August and continue until May 2010, and will allow alumni to work in small groups with a local non-profit to support a sustainable impact. 

Alumni can also attend exclusive tours, presentations and workshops to enhance their leadership skills throughout the year through our membership program. As a member you will have access to Leadership Forum, a series of tours, presentations, and seminars designed to continue your community awareness and knowledge after graduation. In addition, you can become a member of LGR to receive its e-newsletter The Carabiner, an invaluable tool for connecting with other alumni and the community.

CCL is successful because of the alumni who volunteer every year to plan the curriculum for the next class. Graduates of the program are expected to volunteer for two years following their participation and lend their expertise and perspective for the benefit of future classes.  Click here to learn about the different volunteer opportunities CCL offers.
