American Leadership Forum is a national network of chapters, each
dedicated to building stronger communities by joining and
strengthening leaders to serve the public good. It enhances leadership
by building on the strengths of diversity and by promoting
collaborative problem solving within and among communities.
ALF was founded in 1980 by Joseph Jaworski to offer a new leadership
model for addressing the complex problems facing our society. A
distinguished group of national leadership advisors such as John
Gardner, James MacGregor Burns, Rosabeth Moss Kanter, Warren Bennis and
Harlan Cleveland assisted Jaworski with the program design.
