Advancing Leadership Association

ALA MISSION STATEMENT

As a team, we support our college community to create and uphold a welcoming learning environment through collaboration and instilling high expectations for the success of our diverse student population. 

ALA PURPOSE

The Advancing Leadership Association (ALA) is a governance and consultative body that historically joined together the Supervisors Association and the Leadership Coalition and is now represented as one group under the Advancing Leadership Agreement. The primary purpose of this coalition is to represent its members in participatory governance and negotiations with the District on matters relating to benefits, grievance process, contracts, and other related administrative procedures.
