Leadership and Governance
The Leadership & Governance page describes AOF's structure, highlighting the committees and members involved in its operations and community initiatives.
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 to help us flourish. We welcome, we love, we fawn on our volunteers. If you can help, just visit AOF's Contact page. Following is our current committee structure.
