Get Involved

CAEL has several ways to get involved with our work and membership. Below are two ongoing opportunities:

CAEL Connectors

Connectors are community builders and networkers at heart; members who lend their expertise, curiosity, and desire for continuous learning to our online community, activating the platform and supporting dynamic, robust discussions. Connectors welcome new members, start conversations, ask questions, share best practices, highlight success stories, share struggles and challenges, offer resources and professional development, as well as provide regular feedback to CAEL staff regarding the structure and design of our online community spaces.

CAEL welcomes members to apply at any time - applications are accepted on a rolling basis.

CAEL Ambassadors

The CAEL Ambassador Program provides a volunteer leadership opportunity for engaged members to grow and expand CAEL's membership and aligned opportunities and is a "sounding board" for CAEL's strategic direction and impact.  By sharing their expertise and contributing to the leadership CAEL provides in the adult learner/worker ecosystem, Ambassadors are an integral part of CAEL membership, informing and enhancing CAEL’s work.  Ambassadors provide key insights into current issues and challenges and have a ‘front-row seat’ to emerging areas and opportunities - often with very workable options for bringing new ideas into reality. Ambassadors will encourage institutions, organizations, and other entities not currently members to become CAEL members, and work with institutions who are members to become more engaged with CAEL.  Our Ambassadors represent our current CAEL member sectors and intersts.

CAEL welcomes new applicants to join the Ambassadors twice per year - in July and in January. You are welcome to apply at any time. At this time, we are seeking expertise in workforce development, employer partnerships, industry, and economic development - thus, we will only be accepting applications from individuals representing chambers of commerce, private sector employers, industry groups, workforce boards, and related mission-aligned organizations.
