A note from Al...

"I believe we are in the most extraordinary time we have ever been in. With more opportunity, enabling-technology, knowledge and understanding. I truly believe our generation can be the first generation to make major progress in the areas we need most and create some truly exciting breakthroughs to assist in creating a fair, green and abundant world.

My role in this, I believe is to create experiences and spaces to catalyse collaborative change. Through community development, fostering human potential and social entrepreneurship my mission is to bring our generation ALIVE and TOGETHER.

With experience in startup entrepreneurship, business development, marketing, team dynamics and culture management - I am also passionate about applying these experience and gained-knowledge to organisations doing work I am passionate about to enable them to become more effective in achieving their mission."
