Forums & Roundtables
GAO periodically conducts leadership forums and roundtables on topics affecting the federal government's role in meeting 21st century challenges. Selected leaders and experts in various fields from the public, private and not-for-profit sectors are convened at these meetings to discuss certain key issues. The goal of each event is to produce a quality of dialogue that stimulates new partnerships and identifies actions designed to address the respective issues. A report summarizing the discussions on a non-attribution basis and noting the participants who attended is published after each forum and roundtable.
