Feast of Fellowship Dinner Dialogues were started in 2024 and designed to create a welcoming space where we can come together in fellowship and engage in dialogue across difference. Guided by the wisdom and experience of our Senior Fellows, these events will help deepen our connections.

Join us for a special evening of connection and community at the Community Iftar, hosted by Senior Fellows Mohammad Anwar, Class 59 and Chris Pitre, Class 62, and generously sponsored by their company Softway in support of the American Leadership Forum’s 2025 Annual Giving Campaign. The 2025 Annual Giving Campaign theme, Lead With Love, will serve as a foundation for an evening of community building and open dialogue.

Ramadan is a sacred time of reflection, gratitude, and togetherness. Iftar—the evening meal when Muslims break their fast—is a beautiful tradition that brings people together, regardless of background or faith. You do not need to be fasting to attend—this is an opportunity to share a meal, engage in meaningful conversation, and strengthen our bonds as a community.

This event is more than just a dinner—it’s an opportunity to connect with Senior Fellows across the ALF network, learn more about different faith traditions through food and fellowship, and be part of building an intentional community that centers belonging and bridging across differences.Inspired by the values instilled in us through ALF, this gathering fosters deep connections, mutual understanding, and collective leadership for the greater good.

Spots are limited—don’t miss this chance to participate in this transformative dialogue and learning. Family members and guests are welcome!
