You’re invited to join us Tuesday, Oct. 20, for the Fall Forum for Local Education Foundations. For 25 years, the Oklahoma Foundation for Excellence has presented the Fall Forum as Oklahoma’s premiere training and networking event for school foundation leaders and educators seeking to improve the quality of public education in their communities.

This year’s Fall Forum is co-sponsored by the National School Foundation Association to reach out to foundation leaders throughout the region. The Fall Forum theme is “25 and Counting: Foundations, Fundraising and the Future.”
