Many initial Governing Council members and other founders of the Alliance – often at the early stages of their careers<ref name=Paulson /> – engaged in transformation-oriented activities after the Alliance dissolved in 1983.{{refn|The names of 39 early GC members and five additional founding members are on the "Governing Council" page of the Alliance's political platform.<ref name=GC />  These are the only founders named in this section, except for Joseph Simonetta, who is identified as a founder in a reference below.|group=nb}}  Some of them contributed to transformational theory and practice for many decades.

In 1984, at least nine people associated with the Alliance were among the 62 people in attendance at the invitation-only [[History of the Green Party of the United States|founding meeting of the U.S. Green Party movement]] in St. Paul, Minnesota.<ref name=Green />  In addition, the Alliance's platform circulated there.<ref>[[Howie Hawkins|Howard Hawkins]], "[https://web.archive.org/web/20160919170807/https://s3.amazonaws.com/xlsuite_production/assets/10435353/VOL_23_01.pdf  North American Greens Come of Age: Statism vs. Municipalism]."

Other former Alliance members helped organize other transformation-oriented political initiatives.  For example, GC members [[Corinne McLaughlin]] and Stephen Woolpert helped develop the Ecological and Transformational Politics Section (section #26) of the [[American Political Science Association]],<ref name=Preface /><ref name=Spirit /> Leonard Duhl helped initiate the  Healthy Cities program at the [[World Health Organization]],<ref>Howard Frumkin et al., "Introduction," in Andrew L.

Some Alliance founders later ran for seats in the [[United States Congress|U.S. Congress]], though none won.  In 1986, Joseph Simonetta – co-founder of an Alliance chapter<ref name=Simonetta /> – obtained the [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic Party]] nomination for a [[United States House of Representatives|House]] seat.<ref name=Simonetta>Mark Satin, "[http://www.radicalmiddle.com/income.pdf Simonetta: The Heroes Are Us]," ''New Options Newsletter'', issue no. 29, June 30, 1986, pp.&nbsp;3,&nbsp;8.

Many Alliance founders wrote transformation-oriented political books after the Alliance dissolved.{{refn|This recitation of books is intended to be suggestive rather than complete.
