2025 Leadership Development Institute

The Leadership Development Institute (LDI) encourages emerging male and female leaders from CCCU institutions to pursue broader leadership responsibilities through a year-long mentorship program. From June 9-13, 2025, approximately 20-25 emerging leaders will gather at Cedar Springs Christian Retreat Center (located near the Canadian border in Sumas, WA).

The LDI will include the following components:

• A year-long leadership development program that begins with the LDI at Cedar Springs
• An individually tailored “shadowing” experience of 2-3 days with a senior-level leader on another CCCU campus
• Professional networking with current and emerging leaders
• Discussion of cutting-edge leadership issues
• A one-on-one meeting with a Resource Team member to outline a year-long Professional Development Plan
• Opportunities to interact about Leadership Lessons, Case Studies, and Best Practices from within and beyond Christian higher education

Those interested in participating in the 2025 Leadership Development Institute must apply. Preference will be given to applicants who: (1) hold a doctorate or are actively considering/pursuing doctoral studies; (2) are recognized as “up-and-comers” with demonstrated leadership skills and the potential for future senior-level leadership; (3) provide evidence of increasing levels of leadership responsibility within and/or beyond higher education.
