Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure.

■ ■ ■ History ■ ■ ■
The history of The Association of Leadership Educators, Inc. (ALE) grew out of a need for professional development of persons who work with leadership programs. The Association developed as a result of three successful annual Leadership Development Seminars. A key meeting of the Leadership Development Seminar was August 6, 1989 in Manhattan, Kansas where participants recognized the need for information sharing regarding leadership research, teaching, and practice. ALE was formalized at the third seminar held in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on August 17-18, 1990. The first official ALE conference and annual meeting was held in Denver, Colorado on September 13-14, 1991.
Membership is be open to any individual whose career interest is leadership education. ALE is a growing international professional organization with membership in several foreign countries.
