Abstract
In this chapter, we reflect on personal experience of the Action Learning and Action Research Association (ALARA) as it has evolved as an international network over 25 years and on newly collected and analysed data from members of ALARA in response to three questions. We consider the history, culture, sustainability, limitations, future opportunities, and benefits for members of this organization. We identify key characteristics of a successful, global action learning and action research organization and related global networks in the twenty-first century. Finally, we reflect on a name change to underscore the importance of participation and to honour our partnership with the Participatory Action Research network over many decades. We also reflect on possibilities for consolidation of the Australasian network, closer collaboration with other international networks, and joint World Congresses.
