Alexis de Tocqueville Society Events

“As soon as individuals with a cause have found one another out, they combine.  From that moment, they are no longer isolated people, but a power seen from afar, whose actions serve as an example, and whose language is listened to.” –Alexis de Tocqueville
The Society holds a number of events facilitating fun, visiting, and philanthropic dialog among members.  In 2007, the Society hosted:

  • An event in the fall is open to members and guests.  The group dined while viewing a balloon glow from the deck of the Anderson-Abruzzo Balloon Museum.
  • An event in February for members only. In 2007, an Albuquerque premiere of the movie “The Ultimate Gift” starring James Garner, about the power of sharing in our lives.
  • An event in early summer for members and selected guests.  In 2007, world renowned chef and author, Patricia Wells, presented an “Evening in Provence” and visited with every member.
  • Members who have donated $100,000 over their life times viewed the frescoes at the National Hispanic Cultural Center with the artist.

Ongoing events include “Tocqueville Tuesdays,” which have featured community leaders speaking about a variety of issues.  In 2007, Tocqueville Tuesdays featured:

  • Jeff Sterba, President of PNM, discussing energy issues in New Mexico and the nation.
  • The creators of “Dossia” laid out the future for personal medical records, accessible immediately on a world-wide system.
  • Retired Judge Wyatt Heard reviewed Alexis de Tocqueville and his effect on philanthropy and social issues.

Thanks to our co-branding sponsors, these events are a free benefit of membership in the Society. They offer unique opportunities to connect with a likeminded assembly of Society leaders. They are also a great deal of fun.  We hope you will be able to join us, as the conversation and discussion that take place have energized Society members for over a decade.
