It is the first and longest-running ALF Affinity Group\, founded by Meri Maben (Class XXIV) and Naomi Fine (Class XX). \nEven in its early years\, our group’s “secret sauce” was its focus on authenticity. The group goes beyond sharing stories about what happened in each other’s lives. Instead\, we reflect on the experiences that call our attention\, move us to action\, or make us feel strongly. Group members offer clarifying questions and constructive feedback to those sharing their life’s journey. The process allows each participant to LEARN\, CONNECT\, & GROW in an intimate\, safe space. We welcome any ALF Senior Fellow interested in reflecting on their life’s journey. Please join us if you would like to learn\, connect\, and grow with other self-reflective Senior Fellows. \nFor more information and a Zoom invitation\, contact Meri Maben.
