About the Future Forum
Founded in 2002, the Future Forum is an active membership organization of the LBJ Library and Museum. The purpose of the Future Forum is to encourage participation in the Library and its activities, engage members in dialogue about current issues, and encourage greater civic involvement in our community. The Future Forum hosts numerous programs each year, including expert speakers, bipartisan panel discussions, engaging debates, and exhibit previews, in addition to a number of “cluster” activities focused on books and film. Membership is $50 per year. For more information about the Future Forum and our programs or to join online, please visit www.lbjfutureforum.org.
The Future Forum has a history of presenting non-partisan panels and discussions of the pressing issues facing our community. In the past year we have hosted programs on sustainable food; critical infrastructure issues such as energy, water, and transportation; the new age of journalism; and an inside look at what’s happening on the ground in Afghanistan and Pakistan. We are planning an exciting line-up for this year – come hear what topics we plan to cover on September 23!
