(Harrisburg) - The Education Policy and Leadership Center congratulates the
graduates of the 2003-2004 Institute for Community Leadership in Education
(ICLE). ICLE graduates participate in regional leadership development programs
focused on education and children's policy issues. The thirty members of the
2003-2004 ICLE graduate armed with the knowledge they need to serve as effective
advocates for education. These dedicated community leaders join 113 ICLE alumni

lives of children in Pennsylvania.
The Institute for Community Leadership in Education was established in the fall
of 2000. The program is designed for current and emerging community leaders who
want to increase their knowledge about important statewide and local education
policy issues. Since its inception, the ICLE program has expanded to include
sites in Harrisburg, Pittsburgh, the Lehigh Valley, and Berks County. In fall
