Center for Ethical Leadership

Mission:

​We cultivate leadership and build capacity for change, helping community tap collective wisdom in service of the common good.

Vision: ​

We envision a world that thrives together.

Founded in 1991, the Center for Ethical Leadership has touched thousands of people through its initiatives, programs, and courageously held spaces for individuals and institutions. We are a think tank that brings people together to co-design ways in which we engage with each other in a good way. The Center is an innovative nonprofit training and education institute whose programs teach and inspire people to be more effective leaders and change agents, collectively advancing the common good. We have worked with some of the Northwest’s best known businesses, schools, nonprofit organizations, and government entities.

At the Center, we have two primary areas of focus:

I. We develop a unique kind of leader. The Center helps foster leaders who know their core values and have the courage to live out of those values in all areas of their personal, work and civic lives. The Center’s approach to leadership development takes people through an inner journey of reflection and self-discovery and then fosters an outer journey of commitment to advancing the common good.

II. We convene and catalyze the community to promote cultural change. The Center brings people together in gracious space to help them create cultures of greater integrity. We work with communities, workplaces, neighborhoods, places of worship – wherever there exists a desire to build values into daily practices to shape the overall environment.
