American Leadership Forum - Great Valley Chapter

As we reflect on the energy and enthusiasm of class 15, we are thankful for senior fellows and partners like Port City Marketing who support our fundraising, which helps ALF provide a little scholarships to nonprofit leaders who cannot afford the full tuition. We cannot do what we do without the magnanimous support of senior fellows and their talents.

Today, the fellows of Class 15 walked through the doors to officially begin their ALF journey, likely expecting a standard kickoff. But we had a little surprise waiting for them!
As they arrived, our Senior Fellows showed up in force to give them a truly unforgettable and warm welcome. You could see the pleasant surprise on the new fellows’ faces the moment they realized what was happening.
That initial excitement quickly flowed into wonderful, engaging conversations across the room. It was inspiring to watch seasoned leaders instantly connect with our newest class, sharing stories and building the bonds that make our network so strong.
We are so incredibly grateful to the dedicated Senior Fellows who consistently invest their time and energy to nominate, build, and support such an awesome group.
The journey for Class 15 has officially begun, and we couldn’t be more excited for what’s ahead. Please join us in giving them a massive welcome in the comments below! 👇
