Through their active participation, members become more informed, connected, and impactful leaders by expanding their policy and political knowledge, building meaningful personal and professional networks, contributing to constructive civic engagement, and advancing innovative solutions to complex societal challenges. Members receive valuable insights into policy, politics, and philanthropy through regular roundtables, briefings, and larger discussions with senior policymakers and industry experts. Organized opportunities—including participation in peer cohorts, issue tracks, and active task forces—allow groups of members to channel the insights they gain into meaningful impact.
Moving from AMBITION into action is fundamental to the future Forum’s mission.
Active member cohorts can champion core priorities in several ways, from helping to draft and advance policy at the local or national level to funding a partner organization’s efforts to scale their work to launching a completely new pilot program that delivers results. Staff help foster the incubation of this work through the Forum’s convening capacity and by connecting active members to peers and resources across the community.
