Senior Fellows Share Their Experiences

“Philanthropy has always been about the spirit of generosity and the desire to create a legacy of giving beyond any one person’s lifetime. No matter what happens, or what lies ahead, we are ready to serve. We’re here for good.”

Arturo Chavez
Chairman

“Developing leaders along a journey is important, but it’s only as valuable as the practical, lasting impact it has on our region. These last 40 years have sparked growth journeys for our leaders. The next 40 years are about fully igniting those sparks within communities and accelerating our transformation from an organization of leaders to a leadership organization that transforms the community itself.”

Nory Angel
President, American Leadership Forum

“I believe that there is a soul in a building, and it does either foster or inhibit conversations. An important piece of having great conversations is having great spaces, but it’s not just about the construction. It’s about what you pour into that space.”
