Associates
ALF Associates come from a wide range of interests, educational achievements, and practical experience. We have in common the following characteristics:
1. An interest in meaningful adult dialogue
2. Use of the Learnership™ 2009 textbook as a major source of context for our virtual conversations
3. A willingness to provide written products that share each other’s perspective and experiences
4. A desire to experience greater personal self-fulfillment and a mindful way-of-being
5. A desire to assist community service organizations and charities
6. A commitment to building a better America by avoiding the conflict-ridden debates based in large part on excessively partisan and sectarian views. Our overarching commitment is to focus on issues in the broad middle range of American interest; those areas where knowledgeable individuals are willing to negotiate towards reasonable, but not perfect solutions.
Everyone is welcomed to share information, submit reasoned perspectives, and to begin a written exchange of ideas as opportunities are established. To become an ALF Associate, go to the Contact Us Tab on the above Navigation Bar and then the Contact ALF Form to acquire the Learnership™ 2009 textbook.
