ALF National Buddy Day

  • American Leadership Forum of Oregon 221 NW 2nd Ave, Ste 306, Portland, OR 97209 United States (map)

All ALF Chapters are participating in National Buddy Day!

This is a great opportunity to connect with your ALF Buddy from your Fellows year!

In his book, “Together: Why Social Connection Holds the Key to Better Health, Higher Performance, and Greater Happiness,” the former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek H. Murthy, writes, “The most meaningful connections may last for a few moments, or for a lifetime, but each will be a reminder that we were meant to be a part of one another's lives, to lift one another up, to reach heights together, greater than any of us could reach on our own.”

Maybe you stay in frequent contact with your ALF buddy. Or maybe its been a while. Either way, this is the perfect moment to reconnect.

Here are some suggestions:

  • Call or Text

  • Meet for a meal or a coffee date

  • Pull out those photos from your ALF year and share them with each other

  • Set up a Zoom call if you can’t meet in person

  • Double Buddy Date - call up another buddy pair from your class and make it a quartet
