The board of directors of the Forum of Regional Associations of Grantmakers announces the appointment of longtime philanthropy executive David Biemesderfer as the organization’s next president and CEO.
It was great to see you all in Baltimore! We hope you were able to takeaway new ideas to implement at your organization, be inspired by our speakers, and meet a lot of new faces. Over the past few weeks, we have added resources from several sessions that you'll want to check out.
This year marks a very special anniversary for two of Forum Staff members. Mary O’Neill, Interim Director, and Val Rozansky, Director of Knowledge Services, have been serving regional associations of grantmakers at the Forum for 10 years.
We encourage everyone attending and those following along from their desks to use #ForumCon15 for any of your social media posts on Twitter or Facebook.
We are saddened to announce that Ernie Gutierrez, former Acting President of the Forum, passed away on November 3, 2014 of lymphoma. Ernie served as Acting President from March 2008 until March 2009 providing important leadership and strategic direction.
