Welcome ALF Oregon Class 47

This year’s selection process was extremely competitive and our nomination and selection process was especially rigorous. We were seeking leaders who are open-hearted, curious, and who have proven that they have the capacity to meet and surpass expectations within their work and their communities. We also sought candidates who give of themselves in service to the public good.

We are thrilled to announce the members of the incoming ALF Oregon Class 47. They’ll begin their ALF Oregon Fellows year in August! You can find their bios right here: www.alforegon.com/class47
