2021 Fall Forum
Register for the 2021 virtual Fall Forum here. The deadline to register is Wednesday, November 10, 2021.
The 2021 virtual GIH Fall Forum will provide policy-engaged funders with information on current issues, access to leading thinkers, and connections with grantmaking peers. This year’s Fall Forum will consist of two timely and relevant programming series:
- Building Momentum to Advance and Institutionalize Equity will provide practical recommendations to advance equity, use narrative as a tool for change, and leverage board leadership to institute equitable policies and practices.
- From Crisis to Care: Decriminalizing Mental Illness and Addiction will explore policy, practice, and partnership efforts to redesign crisis response systems and more effectively and equitably address behavioral health challenges.
Sessions will take place the week of November 15th. Stay tuned for additional details regarding agendas, session descriptions, and speakers.
