The Louisville Forum is the preeminent, nonpartisan public issues group in Louisville. Founded in 1984, the Forum debates and discusses contemporary and sometimes controversial public policy issues that affect the greater Louisville community. The Louisville Forum provides an arena for the presentation and analysis of different sides of vital issues affecting the Louisville Metropolitan area. As an independent and nonprofit organization, the Forum itself never takes a stand on issues. However, we bring together speakers who aggressively articulate their specific and often opposing viewpoints. Membership is open to the public at large, and guests are welcome at all meetings. 

Since its founding, the Louisville Forum has held monthly meetings to discuss wide-ranging matters of public interest, covering economic, political, environmental, health, and social issues. Members and guests receive firsthand information from community and industry figures - business leaders, elected officials, industry experts - those responsible for shaping Louisville's future.
