CCFC Facilities Leadership Institute

The CCFC Facilities Leadership Institute is Back for 2025-26!

The CCFC Facilities Leadership Institute (CFLI) is an exciting, rigorous, and challenging course of study designed to empower participants in the profession of higher education facilities management. During these challenging times, facilities professionals must possess a range of skills, knowledge, and the ability to prioritize, manage, respond, direct, and organize, often with a moment’s notice. It is CCFC’s desire to equip the next generation of community college facilities professionals with tools to ensure success and rally enthusiasm for continued professional growth in service to our students and community.

About the Facilities Leadership Institute

The CCFC Facilities Leadership Institute provides a timely, in-depth professional development program that will empower participants with current information and technical expertise in the field of community college facilities management. Participants will gain knowledge, access resources, and cultivate relationships with presenters and fellow participants. The program will provide information that is unique to the management of community college facilities. 

The CCFC Facilities Leadership Institute program is comprised of six in-person, one-day session modules hosted at California community college campuses. Participants may attend as few or as many modules as they like – from one to all six. Those who complete all six modules will receive the Community College Facilities Leadership Certificate. 

Who Should Participate?

Practitioners in the public sector, such as community college employees, and private sector professionals who serve community college facilities are invited to attend. Participants are not required to be members of CCFC; however, members receive a discounted registration rate. The CCFC Facilities Leadership Institute is geared toward colleagues who desire to improve their professional expertise and understanding of California Community College higher education facilities management processes, including leadership, governance, finance, regulatory, legal, planning, design, construction, and more.

Modules will be offered three times per year, with the full program running over two years. See below for the 2025-26 session modules titles and topics.
