Current Senior Fellows Programs

Issues Dialogues
ALF hosts periodic forums for Senior Fellows to provide an opportunity for dialogue on a broad array topics that affect our community. Visit our online calendar for the most recent event updates.

ALF/COPE
In 1997, the Houston/Gulf Coast Chapter began to focus on education, which was identified as a primary issue of concern in the community. ALF/COPE (Collaborative on Public Education) was initiated to improve public education through leadership training of teachers and principals, a biannual convocation on public education, and building partnerships to benefit public education.

Non-Profit Leadership Collaborative
The American Leadership Forum is a founding partner of the Nonprofit Leadership Collaborative. Since 1998, the Collaborative has offered an annual thought-provoking symposium featuring a nationally recognized speaker in a format designed to stimulate dialogue among local corporate, nonprofit and community leaders. Presenters have included Frances Hesselbein, Robert Putnam, Benjamin Zander, Ronald Heifetz, William Isaacs, Marshall Goldsmith, William Duggan, Peter Block, and Dan Heath.
