Message from the CFO
Driven by strong, continued partnerships with clients and donors globally, CCL finished its Fiscal Year
2017 with revenues of $112.4 million.
This annual report celebrates the growing and diverse array of clients CCL is fortunate to serve. Over the
past year, through engagements with businesses, government agencies, educational institutions, and
nonprofits of all sizes, CCL touched more than 35,000 lives and 2,000 organizations. The investments
these clients made in CCL enabled us to deliver lasting impact for them and stay tightly focused on our
core mission: advancing the understanding, practice, and development of leadership for the benefit of
society worldwide.
We are particularly proud of the difference we make through our Societal Advancement group,
which delivers world-class leadership development for social sector organizations and under-served
communities in every corner of the globe. For example, Independent Sector recently named the American
Express Leadership Academy, a collaboration between American Express and CCL that has trained
hundreds of nonprofit leaders across the United States since 2008, as a “Model Partnership for Impact.”
Also, the Global Citizen Leader program that CCL designed and delivered for WE School, a top Indian
business school, was recognized as a “Best Innovation in Management Education” by India’s National
Human Resources Development Network.
CCL funded nearly 130 scholarships to our programs, valued at more than $730,000, to non-governmental
leaders globally. An innovative initiative to develop individual and organizational leadership in Vermont
was launched with a multi-million dollar estate gift from the late Dr. Margaret Waddington, a pioneering
neurologist and CCL alumna. Additional private gifts and grants from charitable foundations, government
agencies, and other sources—including your own generous contributions—all helped position CCL to
create Results That Matter: Sustained Impact for You, Your Business, and the World.We are grateful for
your support and the tremendous potential it helps unleash in communities everywhere.
Warm regards,
Bradley E. Shumaker
Executive Vice President
Chief Financial and Administrative Officer
