Why Support Commonwealth Leaders Dialogues?

Your support of CLD Canada programs will pave the way for our shared vision to expand the reach of these important programs now and into the future, thereby ensuring key regions benefit from capable, ethical, and global-focused leadership.

Whether through individual donations via our President's Council donor program or through corporate sponsorship, there are plenty of opportunities to invest in the future of leadership. Your support will provide important resources so that CLD Canada can continue to offer meaningful experiential and cross-sectoral development opportunities, for diverse cohorts of leaders throughout the Commonwealth.

The President's Council

Started in 2016, Commonwealth Leaders Dialogue Canada has a charitable donor funding program, the President's Council, which provides financial resources to support its leadership programs. Distinguished leaders and program alumni are invited to become donors and are recognized as Members or Patrons.

These supporters ensure that CLD Canada continues to be an effective, growing organization dedicated to elevating the capacity of leaders from Commonwealth countries and Canada. The support of the council helps to create positive outcomes for participants' organizations, communities, and nations.

The role of the President's Council is to provide examples of ethical and accountable leadership to Alumni, and to be active as speakers, hosts and panelists at programs and events.

President's Council Members and Patrons are recognized annually at the Leadership Forum and Recognition Dinner.
