CLOA is the Professional Association for strategic leaders involved in public sector cultural and leisure services. It works with central government and other national organisations to influence the development of national policies, lobby for positive change and provide a peer-support network.
The organisation represents strategic managers in local authorities or non-profit distributing trusts and those working in associated areas such as health, education and social sectors, who are committed to the development of public sector culture and leisure.
CLOA also coordinates the National Culture Forum, the body set up to unite the major professional organisations in the cultural sector on issues of common concern.
