  • CLI THE COMMUNITY LEADERSHIP INSTITUTE (CLI) IS A 6-MONTH FELLOWSHIP THAT TRAINS EMERGING LEADERS IN ISSUES SUCH AS HOUSING, LAND USE, TRANSIT, CLIMATE AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT. GRADUATES LEARN THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF LOCAL GOVERNMENT PROCESSES SUCH AS MUNICIPAL BUDGETING, PARLIAMENTARY PROCEDURES, AND LAWMAKING, AS WELL AS ADVOCACY, STORYTELLING AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS. IN 2022, CLI GRADUATED 16 MEMBERS FROM THEIR 2021- 2022 KING COUNTY COHORT, AND LAUNCHED THEIR FIRST CLARK COUNTY COHORT FOR RESIDENTS OF THE VANCOUVER, WA AREA. THE CLARK COUNTY PROGRAM ATTRACTED 12 PARTICIPANTS, 11 OF WHOM IDENTIFY AS BIPOC. 80% OF THESE PARTICIPANTS HAVE APPLIED TO PUBLIC OR COMMUNITY CENTERED BOARDS, AND 60% HAVE BEEN ACCEPTED TO DATE.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those.
