About Us
The Louisville Forum is a nonpartisan public issues group. Founded in1984, the Forum hosts debates and discussions of contemporary and sometimes controversial public policy issues that affect the greater Louisville community. The Forum provides an arena for the presentation and analysis of different sides of vital issues affecting the Louisville area. As an independent and nonprofit organization, the Forum itself never takes a position on issues. Instead, we bring together speakers who articulate their specific and often opposing viewpoints. Membership is open to the public at-large, and guests are welcome at all meetings.
