History of the Boren Forum
A group of NSEP alumni living in the Washington D.C. area met with NSEP administrators in 2002 to discuss forming an alumni association. The alumni agreed to form a Steering Committee to begin incorporating the group into a nonprofit organization and rounding up other interested alumni. The Boren Forum was incorporated as a nonprofit in February 2003.
The Steering Committee
The Boren Forum is guided by a Steering Committee made up of alumni volunteers. Steering Committee members generally commit to serving for one year with the option of serving additional years. The Steering Committee meets monthly in the DC-area to plan events, raise funds, manage the website, and facilitate networking. An annual Open House occurs in May to recruit new leadership for the Committee.
