All Access April
Spring is arriving soon, and the Association of Leadership Programs is opening its doors to all non-members. The month of April is YOUR window of opportunity to test drive the benefits of ALP and all the connections and resources that come with membership.
Browse the list of events below and make plans to join your colleagues for an Affinity Group discussion, learn about Creative Facilitation during our special 90-minute Leadership Connections session, and register for any other event that may interest you. You won't want to miss the ALP Open House on April 1, where there will be prizes, fun activities, testimonials, and more!
Get connected – stay connected! Can't make an event? Invite one of your colleagues on staff or a program volunteer to join us.
Special Bonus: Leaders joining ALP during April also receive a $100 discount on the registration fee for the National Conference to be held in Providence, Rhode Island, this summer. Learn more here.

Join Teresa DeFlitch, Director of Leadership Development at Leadership Rhode Island, for a fast-paced and fun deep dive into creative facilitation. Together we will explore what it means to be an authentic and vulnerable facilitator, able to bring out sincere interactions between not only program participants, but in other contexts, team or board members. In this interactive session, we will discuss and practice three concepts, including dynamic tensions, a creative facilitation lens to navigate complexity when differing perspectives surface; brainstretching, a practice of inserting brief but innovative prompts in your facilitation to provoke creative thinking; and test kitchen, an internal practice of prototyping and collaborating with others to advance your creative facilitation strategies. Not only will participants walk away with these three concepts to explore, but also next steps to deepen their understanding of facilitation as a creative practice.
Join us for this special 90-minute Leadership Connections! As part of All Access April, this program is open to all.
