The Native American 40 Under 40 recognition was incorporated in 2009 as part of the National Center’s 40th Anniversary and highlights 40 existing and emerging American Indian leaders under 40 years of age who have demonstrated leadership, initiative and dedication to achieve impressive and significant contributions in their businesses, communities and to Indian country. Fellow (Class 27) The American Leadership Forum of Oregon The American Leadership Forum of Oregon seeks to develop both a sense of personal responsibility for leadership and change in the state, while creating a network of leaders with established bonds of trust and mutual support. The ALF program consists of three parts: an annual Fellows program for a class of approximately 20 community, government and business leaders; a Leadership in Action project that is planned and implemented by each class; and an ongoing program to build and mobilize a network of Senior Fellows (those that have completed the Fellows program) from all classes.
