The Community College League of California is pleased to present the 2024 Asilomar Leadership Skills Seminar.  The seminar began in 1984 and was created by leaders in the American Association of Women in Community Colleges and the Yosemite Community College District. Since 2004, the Community College League of California has sponsored the seminar and provided administrative support.

The seminar is an intensive four-day experience that focuses on the issues facing women who have made a commitment to community college administration, either in their current position or as a future goal. Its purpose is to provide information, strategies, contacts, and opportunities for professional as well as personal growth. The expected outcome is that participants will be able to acquire and successfully accept expanded leadership responsibilities at their college or another California community college.
