 Profile of the Association

(1 page overview plus 1 page of models and best practices we teach)

Benjamin Franklin met weekly for years with his “mutual improvement club.” Napoleon Hill learned from Andrew Carnegie his “success formula” and from 500 of the world’s prolific people that they develop “harmonious relationships” and “mastermind alliances.” We build on their examples and expand with an association connected to the professional research, writing, and teaching of an institute.

Vision: We serve as a positive organization established to help more people write plans for life and act on common denominators of living as our best-selves. Our core values: Inspiration, Improvement, and Integrity.

Our Personal Leadership programs provide positive and progressive programs and service. We established as the Personal Leadership Association (PLA) and expanded to Life Leaders--maintaining Personal Leadership and adding Patriotism in Action. Plan for Life is a program and major theme of our offerings. We seek to help people plan and lead productive and fulfilled lives--doing our best and serving others. We do this through learning, planning, and serving, plus social activities. Personal Leadership usually leads Life Leader programs in January - June and August-October.  Patriotism in Action leads our programs in November and sponsors additional efforts with many patriotic groups throughout the year:

♦ Seminars 10 months per year that provide 10 hours
   of personal and professional development education
♦ Summer Social in July
♦ Personal Leadership for Patriots program in November led by Patriotism in Action
♦ Holiday banquet in December
♦ Newsletters monthly
♦ Opportunities for service and donations to leave a legacy

At our monthly seminars, we offer an hour of inspirational and educational content plus interaction with positive people. We serve as a complement to professional, educational, spiritual, and social organizations.

Life Leaders Institute has supported the Association since 1991 after founding by David Dyson and Johnny Johnson. Since January 1992, we have sponsored monthly seminars for members and the public.

Larger seminars have featured Dr. Stephen Covey, Dr. Ken Blanchard, Dr. Denis Waitley, and Hyrum Smith co-hosted with Birmingham-Southern College (co-led by Dr. Neal Berte and Johnny Johnson) and co-sponsored by corporations such as BellSouth and Parisian, plus Alabama Power Company, Protective Life, and Southern Company Services.

Life Leaders Association was founded as the Personal Leadership Association in1992.
