Join us for a monthly check-in call for all Forum members to connect with your colleagues and hear from experts (in and outside of the Forum network). Each call will focus on an important topic on the minds of PSOs - past calls have focused on the COVID-19 pandemic response and the racial justice movement.
We will be providing a space for Forum members to connect and learn from each other around hosting virtual conferences - what are PSOs learning about how we transition from in-person to virtual for our biggest event(s) of the year.

Join us for a special conversation with Luz Vega-Marquis, who retired recently as the founding President and CEO of the Marguerite Casey Foundation after nearly 20 years in the position. The conversation coincides with the release of Luz’s new book Ask, Listen, Act: A New Model for Philanthropy. The book is a moving examination of poverty, its root causes, and how to end it through movement-building—from the perspective of a groundbreaking philanthropy executive.
