2025 Annual Convention
November 20 – 22, 2025
Garden Grove, CA
Registration for Annual Convention 2025 is now open! Registration will close on Friday, Nov. 7 at 7:00 p.m.
The Community College League of California invites you to Focus, the theme for the 2025 Annual Convention. Focus on the mission, on equity, on the students. Yet in a hyperconnected, uncertain era, our energies are diffused by interminable to-do lists, technology interruptions and 24/7 distractions. What would our lives be like if we could direct our attention to what truly matters? What would our impact be if we were given permission to do one thing, and do it well? With focus, we serve with greater intention, lead with purpose and reaffirm our direction.Â
