The purpose of the Gerald R. Ford Leadership Forum is to be a bi-partisan initiate of the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Foundation that seeks to honor and practice the public service of the 38th President’s legacy. It seeks to promote leadership development, civic engagement and community betterment within members. Additionally, we hope to cultivate members with the virtues that President Ford exhibited in his public and private lives that are essential to a well-functioning democracy. These virtues include commitment to the common good, the ability to work cooperatively and respectfully with political opponents, a mode of discourse that encourages civility without giving up on principle and conviction, a recognition that statesmanship requires a combination of goodwill, tolerance, honesty, personal integrity, and prudential and well-informed decision making.
Furthermore, we hope to provide a network of undergraduate students, graduate students, young professionals, college professors, think tank scholars, journalists and those studying in schools dedicated to law, business and public administration, who will practice deep thinking and civil discourse in a fashion that represents public service as President Ford did.
