Through advocacy and other activities, the Forum will be recognized as the thought leader in envisioning a new reality for education abroad. We anticipate emerging trends and challenges in the field so that our resources and events are truly cutting (if not bleeding) edge. Vision of Strengths in 2025: If any U.S. sending higher edu institution (or secondary school) is planning to provide opportunities for students to learn abroad as a formal part of their curriculum or co-curriculum that it is an expectation that such institutions actively use resources provided by the Forum. Not sure how this is measured though if resources for the field at large are also available without requirement of membership. (this is not fully a complete thought... :)) The Forum aids members on development of new program model that are less expensive and have shorter travel distance. The Forum is widely viewed as THE pre-eminent association for education abroad....worldwide! The Forum is the first place the media calls for insights on international education trends, happenings, etc. The Forum is recognized as leader on race issues in global learning. The Forum has developed an "Open Ideo" type portal for global problem solving in study abroad. The Forum’s institutional membership truly represents the world - all the continents and possible institutions that could work with North American students In 2025, we envision: The Forum’s institutional membership truly represents the world - all the continents and possible institutions that could work with North American students. The Forum has evolved to be a microcosm of the world in its membership ethnic and cultural diversity. We have expanded membership to more international institutions and organizations and we serve a broad global Membership. Our members benefit from less US-centric approach, via more diversity in voices, resources, and training. We have a network of champions in regions throughout the globe. Further, we have established deeper commitment from global corporate companies to invest in programs. Picture this: There's a photo array of the 50,000 members of the Forum with special highlights on conference presenters, people who have completed Forum trainings, and those who have helped implement the standards into new programs and this photo is
