ALF Senior Fellows Take the Call.

Earlier this year, Cisco’s Chief Social Impact Officer Brian Tippens (Class XLIII) requested a Power Circle of Senior Fellows to assist him in thinking through some strategy questions. ALF called upon Food Systems Manager with the County of Santa Clara Cayce Hill (Class XL), Former Audubon CEO and Author David Yarnold (Class XII), PromisePay CEO Phaedra Ellis-Lamkins (Class XII) and special guest Dr. Otto Scharmer to provide peer support and a brain trust for Brian. Chief Facilitation Officer Jenny Niklaus, facilitated the session.

A very special thanks to these and other Senior Fellows who take the call and make the call!
