In a world of changing demographics and competition for scarce resources, ACL encourages and supports collaborative efforts by bringing together the leaders of these partnerships to share their experiences and strengthen their organizations.

The most concentrated ACL networking activity is the annual National Conference which attracts partnership directors and leaders from government, business, and the public sector. Conference sessions focus on program and service development, organization management, trends in higher education, and resource strategies to sustain partnerships. Recent conferences have featured workshops on topics as diverse as management style for partnership staffs, proposal preparation for specific federal competitions, program delivery using compressed video technology, cost saving among institution, faculty and staff development and current national issues in higher education.
