Who we are

The Fort Worth Forum is a collective of engaged and enthusiastic leaders working across Fort Worth’s business, civic and non-profit sectors.  The mission is to foster connections and fellowship among leaders in a vibrant and growing city through educational programs, social events, and domestic and international enrichment experiences.  Our goal is a flourishing city.

How we are different

The membership aims to authentically reflect the diverse richness of our community. The diversity of our membership includes representation of the varying perspectives, identities, and sectors that make up Fort Worth. Members convene with fellow members several times throughout the year, giving them the unique opportunity to explore new connections each time, and to deepen ones they’ve forged in previous sessions.

Why it matters

When impactful leaders come together in fellowship and collectively learn about challenges and opportunities affecting our city, there is tremendous potential for new ideas and initiatives to come to life for the betterment of our city.
