2027 AGB Foundation Leadership Forum | Call for Proposals and Volunteers

Make the Most of the AGB Foundation Leadership Forum

We hope you will share your suggestions for the 2027 AGB Foundation Leadership Forum! It is a great opportunity to engage board members and staff leaders, to celebrate and showcase the work of your foundation, and to connect with leaders of other foundations on issues of common interest. We welcome your suggestions for plenary, concurrent, or workshop sessions. We also welcome recommendations or raised hands for a wide range of speaking roles including panelists, affinity-group facilitators, or stand-alone speakers. The Forum will take place January 24-26, 2027 at the Marriott Marquis in Washington, DC.

See the 2026 Forum schedule to get an idea of the range of topics addressed in the program.

We will be reviewing proposals as received and confirming sessions and speaking roles on a rolling basis until the agenda is complete. If you would like to propose ideas for more than one full session, use the same survey link to submit additional forms.
