This initiative is designed to equip local leaders with the tools and support they need to build connections in communities where division runs deep. These leaders often possess significant influence within their communities, but even the most established leaders face the challenge of uniting people who are separated by distrust and fear of difference. The goal of this partnership is to help these leaders create the relational infrastructure necessary for communities to come together, collaborate, and move forward.
At the heart of this effort is a commitment to fostering a relationship-building mindset. The partnership provides training that encourages leaders to engage with others—especially those they may view as "other"—in meaningful ways. The training is designed to create spaces where everyone feels that they matter, particularly those who have been marginalized or silenced.
Two information sessions will be held to learn more and start building the future of trust and connection through leadership. Both sessions will cover the same information.
Session 1:
Thursday, November 21
3:00 - 4:30 PM ET | 12:00 - 1:30 PM PT
Session 2:
Tuesday, December 10
12:00 - 1:30 PM ET | 9:00 - 10:30 AM PT
A key ALP member benefit is connecting virtually with other members via Affinity Groups on a specific topic of interest.
An ALP member/champion facilitates these ongoing, intact groups. Members of the group share and gain ideas, insights, best practices, inspiration, and more.
The zoom link for each affinity group is only shared with members who have opted-in to specific groups. To sign up for an affinity group, click here.
For members who are signed up for Affinity Groups, you can access the Zoom link through the "projects/committees" drop-down after logging into the ALP website. more info...
