Chapter Leadership Institute
Where Volunteers Come Together to Learn
Whether you currently hold a volunteer role within your chapter or are considering one, look no further than our Chapter Leadership Institute, what we fondly refer to as CLI.
This annual summer event takes place in mid-July. It brings together current and new chapter officers, individuals interested in becoming a chapter officer, and members of ALA’s Board of Directors and Chapter Connections Committee for three days of networking and collaborating.
Save the Date for CLI 2027!
We are excited to gather for the 2027 Chapter Leadership Institute (CLI) in San Antonio, Texas! Volunteers and aspiring leaders from ALA chapters will come together to learn, network and engage with members of ALA’s Board of Directors and Chapter Connections Committee. Registration will open in Spring 2027. Don’t miss this opportunity to grow and strengthen your chapter's leadership team--and have some fun, too!
Funding assistance is also available to chapters that are interested in attending the event but need assistance to do so. Chapters can apply for funding assistance once registration is open. We would love to have all our chapters come together for this event! Any questions please reach out to chapters@alanet.org.

BEWARE OF UNAUTHORIZED HOTEL SOLICITATIONS
Each year, we receive reports that other companies are posing as official vendors for conference hotel reservations. If you are contacted by other third-party companies offering hotel assistance or attempting to obtain your hotel reservation number, do not provide information. Please be aware they are not endorsed by our event and may attempt to cancel your reservation, then ask for credit card or other information to steal your identity. Entering into financial agreements with these companies can have costly consequences and is not protected by event management.
