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.  

MEMBERSHIPS

  • The Board of Trustees recognizes the Advancing Leadership Association group as the exclusive representative of those employees included in the Management Group. 

    • Classified management members are those classified administrators who are designated as management by the District and, regardless of job description, have significant responsibilities for administering District programs other than the educational programs of the District, and/or have authority to hire, transfer, suspend, recall, promote, discharge, assign, reward, or discipline other employees, or having the responsibility to assign work to and direct them, adjust their grievances, or effectively recommend such action.
    • Educational Administrator members are those who exercise direct responsibility for supervising the operation of or formulating policy regarding the instructional or student services programs of the District. 
    • Executive Vice Presidents and Vice Presidents are not included within the Advancing Leadership Association group.
