The purpose of the CLI is to support a long-term strategy for coalitions to build the power to govern, based on a common political agenda that reflects the values and interests of coalition members.

New Programs
Building Partnerships USA has developed three new programs:
· Values-Based Leadership is a four-day intensive that widens the pool of community activists considering public leadership and develops a new generation of members of public commissions, councils, authorities, and legislatures, as well as nonprofit boards and directorships, the clergy, and union offices.
· Leading a New Way is a two-day course currently being piloted to grow elected officials’ ability to meet the emotional, creative, and technical challenge of translating values into action when they are the decision-makers on key policies and our public money.
· The Boards and Commissions Leadership Training will launch in Fall 2010 to recruit and prepare emerging progressive leaders to tap the underutilized power of appointed government offices to shift the regional policy agenda.
