What We Do
Founded in 2015, Collegiate Leadership Competition (CLC) provides collegians passionate about leadership with a practice field. Students actively apply their learning via our global leadership competition. We make leadership a tangible, high-impact learning experience for future leaders.
Schools of all kinds participate each year. For instance - University of Delaware, Air Force Academy, Lafayette College, Merrimack College, Johnson County Community College, Western University (Ontario), Bowdoin College, University of Southern Maine.
When we do it
Our 2026 competitions have taken shape. Teams are not bound to any region and may select to travel to any regional of their choosing! The regional locations and dates are:
Quebec Regional @ HEC Montreal (Montreal, Quebec) - March 21, 2026
Ontario Regional @ Wilfrid Laurier University (Brantford, Ontario) - March 28, 2026
New England Regional @ University of Southern Maine (Portland, Maine) - March 28, 2026
Southeastern Regional @ Berry College (Rome, Georgia) - March 28, 2026
Midwest Regional @ Southwestern Oklahoma State University (Weatherford, Oklahoma) - March 28, 2026
In addition to the face-to-face regionals, we offer a global virtual competition. The global virtual competition is available as a standalone engagement (register for the virtual, but not a regional), or as a heavily discounted add-on to those teams participating in regional events. This competition is split across two dates (three activities each day). Those dates are:
Global Virtual Competition: April 9 & 11 - or - April 16 & 18, 2026 (To Be Finalized)

CLC AT A GLANCE
Why?
We believe that leadership can be learned. With practice, our participants develop knowledge, build skill, and learn with other like-minded teammates who are passionate about leadership.
What?
CLC’s curriculum explores the attributes of effective leaders, leadership/followership styles, creative problem solving, influencing others, navigating difficult conversations, conflict resolution, ethical decision making, stressors, and effective teaming.
Who?
Colleges and universities identify a coach and recruit teams of six students. Any student interested in practicing leadership is welcome. Throughout the experience, each team member leads one challenge and receives extensive feedback based on their performance.
CLC is now recruiting teams for the 2026 competition! Learn more!
About the Competition
Each year, the practice season begins in January. Practice occurs on each team’s respective campus culminating in live events at host campuses around North America (typically held in March) as well as a virtual event (held in April).
The MOBTS CLC will shifted back to a regional hosting structure in 2025. More information on our site hosts and signups will be available in September 2026.
