2026-2027 CLP Advisory Committee

The Civic Leadership Program (CLP) is a volunteer-led movement to empower area residents

to have a more active leadership role on the boards, committees, and organizing bodies that impact student success. It doesn't move without the engaged and driven volunteers who have brought the program to Dayton.

To make the CLP a success, the Advisory Council provides their time and expertise in shaping curriculum, recruiting speakers, and ensuring meaningful and impactful experiences for all participants. As part of the founding Advisory Council, these dedicated members have been instrumental in the successful launch of CLP and supporting our first class. They continue to leverage their institutional knowledge to strengthen and grow the program.

Their expertise and insights make a lasting difference for Dayton's students and families, and we thank them for their support in making the Civic Leadership Program possible!
