The Forum’s Public Policy Peer Community offers the following opportunities for peer-learning:

- In-person meeting at the Forum’s annual conference
- Public policy town hall events to address timely policy issues, inform members about fast-moving policy changes, or initiate calls to action.
- Access to the policy listserv for easily sharing information and updates with the community.

Many philanthropy-serving organizations engage in government relations, advocacy, and/or public policy work at the local, state, and national levels and have different capacities to do this work.
This peer community is for our PSO staff, members, leaders, and sector advocates who are interested in government relations, advocacy, and public policy. Interested in joining this Peer Community? Submit your email address on the form at the bottom of the Our Networks page.
