Thought Forum™ workshops and presentations bring important voices, interesting ideas and new perspectives to help you develop and fulfill your personal goals.

Past events have addressed wide ranging subjects from market trends, the current economic environment and an economic outlook for the country to the very specific overview of the Laird Norton Tyee investment philosophy.

This fall, we brought Lucy Bernholz to Seattle to discuss the future of philanthropy and ideas on how to keep good causes alive in a bad economy. We've also featured managing directors Kristi Mathisen and Barbara Potter discussing effective estate planning techniques in a low-interest rate environment. Other recent events have covered topics dealing with philanthropy and kids and money. We brought Tracy Gary to town to discuss Inspired Philanthropy and partnered with The Seattle Foundation to bring Nathan Dungan to town. He worked with three generations of families to discuss Money and Values.

Other topics have included "How Much Is Enough?" "Healthy Aging," and "The Secret Mission of Baby Boomers," as well as various family issues such as intergenerational communication and keeping wealth in the family.
