Tina Paez Graduates from American Leadership Forum Class 34
HOUSTON, TX (May 22, 2015) – Tina Paez graduated from the American Leadership Forum’s Class XXXIV at the commencement ceremony held on May 21, 2015. 

The American Leadership Forum (ALF) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to join and strengthen diverse leaders to serve the common good.  ALF strengthens Fellows’ capacity to address public issues collaboratively and builds a strong leadership network to work for positive change in our community.  Each year, 20 to 26 established leaders from various sectors in the community participate in a yearlong, national caliber leadership development program in which leaders can engage in dialogue, explore differences, and build relationships.  The program consists of monthly seminars on topical issues to stimulate inquiry, analysis and solutions for the public good.   The result is a lifelong fellowship of highly connected leaders who strengthen and broaden the social fabric of the community. 

Tina Paez is Director of Administration & Regulatory Affairs for the City of Houston.

“I am honored to have been chosen to participate in this prestigious leadership program. ALF strengthens our capacity to address public policy issues collaboratively, with a focus on building relationships, trust and dialogue. As a result, opportunities to solve difficult problems are suddenly unlocked. It is important to develop this type of leadership in the Houston/Gulf Coast area, and ALF is the premier program for this type of leadership training.”

Upon graduating from the American Leadership Forum, Senior Fellows serve as committed catalysts in Houston, bringing stakeholders from all walks of life together to create opportunities to work together and to address urgent public concerns.  A class of Fellows is selected from a broad range of leadership, reflecting social, ethnic, gender, geographic, political, religious and work sector diversity.  Fellows are selected based on demonstrated outstanding leadership and potential for growth, integrity, professional stature, commitment to the community beyond their profession, willingness to learn, to challenge assumptions, and to increase understanding and awareness of others. 

Since the American Leadership Forum’s founding in 1981, more than 1,100 leaders have participated in a Fellows Program.  ALF offers yearlong programs to join and strengthen leaders from a diverse cross-section of Houston as well as programs focused in the medical, criminal justice, public education, and community development sectors.
