Leadership and Governance
The AoF Board brings together independent thinkers committed to reason, integrity, and building a more just and compassionate society.
Our Committees
"A committee is organic rather than mechanical by nature: not a structure but a plant. It takes root and grows, it flowers, it wilts, it dies, and it scatters the seed from which
other committees will bloom in their turn."
~ C. Northcote Parkinson
But where would we be without them? AOF always needs wise, dedicated committee-folk to perform small & large tasks at meetings, to support our precious infrastructure.
