Who We Are

For nearly four decades ALF has worked very intentionally to bring together a mix of diverse leaders from virtually every sector of the Houston community - not to debate, but to co-create new possibilities. American Leadership Forum Fellows and Senior Fellows broaden their perspectives, learn new skills, engage in dialogue and work collaboratively to help address our communities most critical issues. The American Leadership Forum (ALF) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to join and strengthen diverse leaders to serve the common good.
