Forum Conference 2011

When the Forum network gathered together earlier this month in Denver, Colorado, for the Forum’s Annual Conference, the atmosphere was electric. With the Rocky Mountains as our backdrop, Larry Smith, Founder/CEO of Leading Edge Advisory Firm, kicked off the conference imploring regional associations to reject comfort and find the courage and character needed to be leaders in the philanthropic field. The renewed energy among RAs to connect with each other and collaborate became palpable and the courage and character Smith talked about was evident throughout the conference.
