The Community College League of California is now accepting presentation proposals for the 2024 Annual Convention, at the Hyatt Regency SFO, Burlingame. We encourage you to use the League's Annual Convention as an opportunity to share your best practices, innovative programs, and success stories with your community college colleagues from across the state. The proposal deadline is 5 p.m., Monday, June 10, 2024.

This year’s theme is “Lead Beyond Limits: A Focus on Innovation and Excellence.” California’s great diversity—economies, environment, and cultures—fosters a wide range of ideas and solutions. In context with their communities, each of our community colleges addresses the localized needs and values through education. We invite you to share how our colleges take the lead in innovation and distinctive programming that leads to statewide and national best practices. California Community College administrators, faculty, staff, and system partners should submit a proposal that aligns with our theme.
