ALF National Presents
We The People: Finding Common Ground for the Common Good
February 13, 2025, 3 pm – 5 pm PST
The Philanthropy Center, Portland OR
This is an IN PERSON event. Each participating ALF chapter is gathering in person and connecting to other chapters and keynote speakers via Zoom. Oregon Senior Fellows will be together at The Philanthropy Center on NW 2nd Avenue. ALF Oregon will provide snacks, beverages, all AV, and professional facilitation.
This event is made possible through your support! It is FREE to attend, but please consider donating at registration to support future Senior Fellow Network convenings.
We joined ALF because we believed in the power of joining and strengthening diverse leaders to serve the common good. Now, as we move into a new administration following a divisive presidential election, we are inviting Senior Fellows to come together and walk the talk—of courageous conversations, generous listening, and collective action grounded in our shared values.
Let’s come together to find our path forward.
