Exemplary Leader Award

Several of the ALF Chapters recognize and celebrate regional and national leaders with an Exemplary Leader Award.

Each spring, the Mountain Valley Chapter honors a Sacramento-region leader who represents the cornerstones of ALF. The award recipient thinks and works regionally, values diversity, and is a successful collaborative leader.

The annual dinner attracts the region's decision- and opinion-makers to celebrate the award recipient's accomplishments. Attended by more than 500 people, including most of the members of ALF-MV, the dinner celebrates leadership and the growing network of ALF members. This year's event took place April 28th; details here.

Since 1990, ALF - Silicon Valley has honored a select group of exceptional people from Silicon Valley and beyond at its Exemplary Leader Celebration. The Exemplary Leader Award honors individuals who model the boundary-crossing, collaborative servant leadership style that ALF promotes.

Beginning in 1994, ALF - Silicon Valley has presented the John W. Gardner Leadership Award to two Senior Fellows who best:

   • Represent the spirit of ALF by inspiring and motivating other leaders to get involved;
   • Serve as bridge builders between diverse community segments and leaders;
   • Present track records as collaborative leaders who identify and deal with complex and difficult issues;
   • Demonstrate ALF core values of diversity, inclusiveness, civility, engagement, and respect.
