CPL Communities
Your online home for connection, practice, and participation.
CPL Communities helps members remain connected between programs, gatherings, retreats, and conversations.
It is a place to continue meaningful relationships, explore selected resources and recordings, discover upcoming opportunities, and participate in the ongoing life of the CPL community.
What is CPL Communities?
Continue the journey between gatherings
Meaningful relationships and purposeful leadership develop over time. CPL Communities provides a shared online home where CPL members can continue learning, practicing, contributing, and connecting beyond an individual event or program.
It is not another platform you need to keep up with every day. You are invited to participate at a rhythm that is meaningful and sustainable for you.

Beginning in CPL Communities
Start with one simple step
Once you receive your invitation:
Activate your CPL Communities account.
Add a photo and brief introduction to your profile.
Visit the CPL Member Hub.
Introduce yourself to the community.
Choose one conversation, resource, or gathering to explore.
You do not need to understand or explore everything at once. Begin with what speaks to you and allow your relationship with the community to develop over time.
Community Invitation
Come as you are. Help shape what becomes possible.
CPL Communities is shaped by the people who participate in it. Members are invited to bring their presence, questions, experience, curiosity, and care—and to help create a community where people feel welcomed, respected, and able to grow.
There is no expectation that every member participate in everything. Find the rhythm and forms of participation that are right for you.
