American Leadership Forum - Silicon Valley

American Leadership Forum (ALF) was founded in 1980 in Houston, Texas, by Joseph Jaworski. He envisioned an organization dedicated to bringing together diverse leaders from multiple sectors in communities across the country to deeply explore their personal leadership capacity, build deep trust among the group, and to learn how diverse people can coalesce around issues and discover new possibilities. ALF Silicon Valley (ALF-SV) is one of 10 active ALF chapters that is passionately committed to building diverse networks of leaders focused on personal and community transformation in order to create an inclusive and thriving Silicon Valley. Their ultimate outcome is to encourage an equitable, resilient, and thriving community that courageously navigates the biggest challenges of its time.

American Leadership Forum - Silicon Valley (ALF-SV) joins and strengthens diverse leaders, creating and supporting networks for good. Over the course of the past two years, ALF has been facilitating two groups of 10 nonprofit leaders who wanted to engage more deeply on the concepts of diversity, inclusion, equity, and liberation. This grant will support a third cohort of 10 nonprofit CEOs making significant impact in the local community. As seen from the work of earlier cohorts, this network will enhance the impact of the individual nonprofits in the group.
