About the Forum

The purpose of the Communicators Forum is to promote excellence in communications and enhance cooperation among communications professionals working at the University. The Forum does this by:

promoting professional development through programs and committee involvement
building a network of colleagues with knowledge, skills, and resources
encouraging high standards
advancing the interests of communications professionals

The Forum is a nonprofit, volunteer organization with many opportunities for involvement. Because learning and practicing new skills can be challenging, we support volunteers through leadership training and coaching.

Board of Directors

The Forum is led by a board of directors including committee chairs and six elected positions — chair, chair-elect, chair emeritus, recorder, treasurer, and one at-large director.

All Forum members are welcome to attend board meetings. Monthly meeting minutes are also available online.

History of the Forum

In 1986, a small group of communicators started meeting to discuss their jobs and common interests. They talked about the impact communicators have at the University. They took a hard look at opportunities for professional development and decided they needed more. They created the Communicators Forum.
