VISION SNAPSHOTS
I would see a more diverse membership, and possibly alliances with other similar organizations/associations internationally that could help strengthen the FORUM's position in the field at a global level. International organizations become members for reasons other than the fact that they host large numbers of US students on ed abroad programs. 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 colorful, vibrant and representative of global cultures Membership is made up equally of US and international members. Stronger international representation in the membership International members are more engaged and included in Forum efforts through virtual opportunities Forum members benefit from less US-centric approach, via more diversity in voices, resources, and training. The Forum has a network of champions in regions throughout the globe. The Forum has established deeper commitment from global corporate companies to invest in programs. The Forum has expanded membership to more international institutions and organizations. The Forum is recognized GLOBALLY as THE standards setting body for best practices across institutions of higher learning, with international university membership approaching or exceeding US college/university membership. That by 2025, the Forum is recognized GLOBALLY as THE standards setting body for best practices across institutions of higher learning, with international university membership approaching or exceeding US college/university membership. These standards are recognized by all as being minimal requirements. Future editions of the Standards evolve to account for the growth and diversification in membership and the needs of the field including virtual learning. Further, we see more institutions and programs (including faculty led) that bear the seal of good practice from the Forum on their promotional materials. Institutions who were once considered underrepresented now represent the greatest number of schools with information sessions highlighting the standards and collaborative program planning. .
