The Boren Forum was incorporated as a nonprofit in February 2003.The Board of DirectorsThe Boren Forum is guided by a Board of Directors made up of alumni. All board members commit to serving for one year with the option of serving an additional year without having to formally reapply. The Board of Directors meets monthly in the DC-area to plan events, raise funds, manage the website, and facilitate networking. New Board members are recruited each October and begin serving their terms in January.Visit the Boren Forum at www.borenforum.org
