Grab your favorite beverage and join us for Coffee & Connection, a casual one-hour Zoom session hosted by ALP's Membership Director, Zoë Lewis-Monkman.

This is the perfect opportunity for new and existing members to connect, ask questions, and learn more about the benefits of being part of the ALP community. Zoë will answer questions, share insights about ALP's resources and programs while providing tips to help you make the most of your membership.

Whether you're looking to network, deepen your involvement, or simply get to know the ALP team, this laid-back session is a great way to start. Let’s build connections and spark ideas together—one cup of coffee at a time!

Don't miss this chance to connect, collaborate, and caffeinate with Zoë and fellow ALP members!

This ALP Exchange session is an open, peer-driven conversation designed to surface questions, challenges, and best practices that don’t always make it onto an Affinity Group meeting agenda—but impact nearly every leadership program.

Together, we’ll explore program applications, class selection, and related processes, including:

  • What information programs should—and shouldn’t—be collecting

  • Equity, access, and transparency in application and selection practices

  • Opportunities to update, streamline, and automate workflows

  • Tools, systems, and approaches peers are using right now

This is a collaborative space to share what’s working, ask honest questions, and learn from fellow ALP members navigating similar decisions.

Come ready to contribute, listen, and leave with ideas you can apply immediately to your program.

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
