If there is one thing we Americans have in common, it is a passion for success. Success is part of the American dream, a defining factor in what makes us tick. For many, however, success is an "either/or" game, a world of winners and losers, where getting ahead often means leaving others behind.

That's not how we at the Forum define success. For us, success means championing ideas and policies so that all families win, not just a select few. Our Research and Public Policy Department creatively applies time-honored principles to our complex social landscape with results that work for everyone.

In such areas as education, family law, and abstinence education, the Research and Public Policy Department matches sound, thorough research on the issues with a penchant for drawing groups of diverse interests to work together on these issues. At the Forum, we want to make sure that all families can get ahead, and none are left behind.
