What’s on Erica Yew’s mind?

In this all-new “Yewtube” from ALF Silicon Valley CEO Erica Yew, we get a glimpse into her early experiences as she wraps up her third week in her new role. Recorded outside the Sobrato Center for Nonprofits, the home of ALF Silicon Valley HQ, Erica warmly reflects on her conversations with founder Ann DeBusk and the inspiring leadership legacy that shaped ALF Silicon Valley’s beginnings.

With gratitude and characteristic enthusiasm, Erica celebrates the ALF network’s impact and invites us to continue fostering caring, productive dialogue together. She also shares how the values of kindness and authentic connection—shaped by influences like His Holiness the Dalai Lama—are central to the ALF experience and the vibrant network of 850+ Senior Fellows.
