American Leadership Forum - Mountain Valley Chapter

American Leadership Forum - Mountain Valley Chapter The American Leadership Forum is dedicated to joining and strengthening leaders for the greater public good of our region. www.alf-mvc.org

Since 1981, the American Leadership Forum, a national non-profit organization, has dedicated its work to revitalizing leadership within communities across the nation. Established in 1997, the Mountain Valley Chapter brings together leaders from Placer, El Dorado, Sacramento, Northern Solano and Yolo counties. The American Leadership Forum’s Board of Directors selects 22 – 26 ethnically, geographi

cally and professionally diverse candidates to participate in a yearlong program. Those selected, called Fellows, represent a cross section of our community’s leaders who work in the public, private and non-profit sectors. During monthly meetings, Fellows explore the complex challenges facing the region. The Fellows ultimately improve our region by applying these lessons to real and difficult situations. Visit our website to learn about our First-Year Fellows Program.

Placer County Senior Fellows gathered at Brookfield’s this morning for breakfast and a special surprise to celebrate Ken Larson, Class V!

For years, Ken has consistently brought Placer Fellows together, creating space for conversation and community. This morning, we got to show up for Ken the way he has always shown up for us.

Thank you, Ken, for your dedication!

What an unforgettable day at the 2026 ALF-MVC Summer Party!☀️

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an evening of great food, live music, laughter, and connection. Celebrating 30 years of leadership and regional impact with our incredible ALF community made this year’s Summer Party one to remember.

A special thank you to our gracious hosts, Renee and Owen Taylor, for opening your beautiful home and making everyone feel so welcome.

Thank you to Ronal Bonilla and the team at Las Palmas Carnicería, Pupusería & Taquería for the delicious food, it was absolutely amazing!

And thank you to the ALF Band for keeping the celebration going with an incredible performance. You helped make the day even more memorable!

Most of all, thank you to everyone who attended. Your energy, friendship, and support are what make the ALF community so special.

Last Thursday, ALF Fellows gathered at PBS KVIE for a special 30th Anniversary event: Leading Change in the Age of AI.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for an afternoon of conversation and reflection on how we lead through one of the most rapidly evolving moments of our time.

A special thank you to our speakers, Mohammad Anwar and Frank Danna from Softway, who traveled from Houston to be with us. These ALF-Houston Senior Fellows challenged us to think more deeply about leadership and humanity in an AI-driven world. As AI continues to reshape the way we work and live, conversations like these remind us that technology is only as powerful as the people guiding it.

We’re also grateful to PBS KVIE for hosting us and to Boeger Winery for sponsoring the wine at the reception that followed.

Leadership isn’t about choosing between people and technology. It’s about bringing leaders together to ensure these tools are used thoughtfully and for good.

Thank you for being part of the conversation.

Class ### and Class ###I celebrated becoming the newest ALF-MVC Senior Fellows this week, and it was an incredible evening.

The room was filled with classmates, family, friends, and Senior Fellows all coming together to celebrate a year of growth, connection, and shared experiences. It was a great turnout and a meaningful reminder of the kind of leadership community that continues to grow through ALF-MVC.

We are so proud of these two classes and everything they brought to this journey. Congratulations to the newest ALF-MVC Senior Fellows — we can’t wait to see how you continue to lead and impact our region.
