The Conservative Policy Leadership Institute (CPLI) is a training initiative designed to position Georgia to lead the nation in public governance based on conservative principles and values. Founded by alumni from the Coverdell Leadership Institute, CPLI recruits public policy-oriented individuals who have demonstrated leadership experience and who desire an advanced issue-based educational experience grounded in conservative thought.  CPLI accomplishes its objectives through interactive debates moderated by experts in key policy areas such as:

  • Addressing Growth-Related Challenges: Water, Transportation, and the Environment

  • Legislative Policy: Economic Development, Conservative Budgeting and Tax Reform

  • Conservative Healthcare Solutions

  • Fostering Choice and Accountability in Education

The program trains Georgia’s leaders to shape the public policy debate and to govern by adhering to conservative principles.
