President's Report
o Classified Senate presidents from the 3 sites (Chabot, Las
Positas, and District) met with Chancellor Jackson this morning
to continue developing the district-wide leadership development
program.
 Program name will be Classified Leadership Institute for
Professionals (CLIP)
 Created a draft vision and mission statement. Shared with
Senate.
 Survey results from last semester, indicated that a
majority of Chabot respondents preferred each cohort’s
program to be six months in length. Given all that we hope
to accomplish with the program, the team is leaning
towards a one-year program instead.
