We joined ALF because we believed in the power of joining and strengthening diverse leaders to serve the common good. Now, as we move into a new administration following a divisive presidential election, we are inviting Senior Fellows to come together and walk the talk—of courageous conversations, generous listening, and collective action grounded in our shared values.
Let’s come together to find our path forward.
