Initiate a GFE Member Briefing

GFE members can bring programs to their regions on the topics that interest them by organizing their own member briefing — a one-time, one-day session initiated and collaboratively designed by three or more GFE member organizations. GFE can help to support the development of 2-3 briefings each year.

GFE members: if you wish to sponsor a member briefing with other foundations in 2009, contact Chris Tebben at 503-595-2100 to discuss your program idea and next steps.

Here are some reference documents to help you plan a briefing:

• Download a budget reference sheet to help you plan your program's budget.
• Read the member briefing guidelines for helpful tips on planning your program.
• View agendas from the latest GFE-sponsored briefings: Union Collaboration (Feb. 2005), Native American Students (Feb. 2006), PK-3 Alignment (May 2006), Expanded Learning Time (June 2007), and Evaluation (November 2007).
