ALF National Adaptive Leadership Senior Fellows Retreat 
Dates: April 4-8, 2027
Location: Westerbeke Ranch in Sonoma, CA

The adaptive leadership framework

Developed at the Harvard Kennedy School and taught globally, the adaptive leadership framework is a practical, rigorous approach for leading through change, uncertainty, and complexity. It is not a formula, it is a practice.

A world-class facilitation team

Your facilitation team brings together Harvard and NYU-trained adaptive leadership practitioners with decades of combined experience across nonprofit, civic, higher education, and business contexts across the country, and around the world.

• Judy Le: ALF-Houston Lead Facilitator

• Marc Manashil, MPA, MSW: Co-founder of Adaptive Leadership in Human Services Institute at NYU

• Kevin Parker, PhD: Founder and Chair of Whitworth University Institute of Leadership

An ALF experience

This all inclusive retreat is a rare opportunity — the first national gathering of its kind for ALF Senior Fellows, in a picturesque setting. It is designed to be experienced, not just learned; carrying forward the essential spirit and values that have defined the ALF fellows experience for decades.

Limited to 25 spaces. Registration tis open to Senior Fellows from every chapter. We will announce registration details via the ALF Connect directory in the summer of 2026.
