Mission

The Forum for Economic Development is a non-partisan clearinghouse for ideas and discussions to bring about a consensus for action resulting in an abundance of jobs for everyone of all ages, races, and talents with a focus on southwestern Pennsylvania (as a model).  A key aspect of the Forum's mission is to bring together community leaders, private industry, non-profit groups, organizations, government agencies or entities as well as individuals to create new opportunities from old paradigms transformed by new thinking.
