Phoenix, AZ (June 10, 2025) - Arizona has a new home for values-driven leaders ready to grow, connect, and make an impact. The Arizona Leadership Network (ALN) is proud to announce its official launch—creating a dynamic space for connection, collaboration, and purposeful growth.
At its core, ALN is more than a network—it’s a movement. Designed for experienced leaders who are seeking authentic connection, continuous growth, and meaningful contribution, the organization is poised to redefine what it means to lead with purpose.
“Leadership isn’t a title—it’s a lifelong journey,” said Angela Hughey, co-founder, Arizona Leadership Network. “The Arizona Leadership Network exists to support that journey by surrounding leaders with a vibrant, values-driven community and opportunities to make a real difference.”
ALN members gain access to:
- Innovative programming rooted in ethics, mindfulness, and strategic growth
- Exclusive events including hands-on workshops, curated speaker series, and dynamic networking experiences
- Three signature committees—Care & Connection Committee, Character Committee and Compassion & Collaboration Committee
Whether you're building authentic relationships, sharpening your leadership skills, or leading community impact initiatives, every ALN experience is intentionally designed to inspire, challenge, and elevate.
Membership in ALN is open to individuals who:
- Have graduated from a recognized leadership institute
- Have received a leadership award or recognition
- Or have been nominated by two current members
This selective, mission-driven approach ensures a diverse and dedicated network of leaders passionate about making Arizona—and the world—a better place.
Annual membership supports high-quality programming, strategic initiatives, mentorship, and operational excellence—ensuring members receive the tools and support they need to lead boldly and effectively.
“We’re cultivating a statewide culture of leadership that prioritizes integrity, empathy, and collective success,” said Bettina Nava, Co-Founder of ALN. “The Arizona Leadership Network is more than a group—it’s a growing force for positive change.”
“One of the most powerful things a leader can do is invest in their own growth while creating space for others to do the same,” said Sophie O’Keefe-Zelman, Co-Founder of ALN. “ALN is that space. It’s where intentional leaders come to learn, build, and lead with greater clarity and purpose,” concluded O’Keefe-Zelman
The Arizona Leadership Network invites you to take the next step in your leadership journey. This is your opportunity to belong to a community that sees your potential, values your voice, and champions your growth.
