Civic Engagement Forums

As a nonpartisan convener and facilitator, FOCUS' civic engagement forums provide opportunities to learn about and discuss key regional issues. In the past year, more than 1,600 community members and leaders attended a FOCUS forum.

Bringing together diverse perspectives, our forums offer:

  • Access to education and resources on important civic issues;
  • Space to engage in dialogue and understanding of opposing viewpoints; and
  • Connection with other individuals who have an interest in the issue and leaders working in that space.

Many of our forums are free and open to the public. To access members-only events and discounts, join or renew your FOCUS membership.

Interested in partnering on or sponsoring a future forum? Contact Dr. Wally Siewert, Director of Civic Engagement, at (314) 657-4026 or by email.
