Sharing our research and policy insights with government and civic entities is a top priority of WPF. We welcome opportunities to present the results of our research to governmental bodies, civic groups, and others. Members, civic groups, elected officials, and advocacy groups can request Forum staff members to speak on our research or related policy issues by calling our Milwaukee office at 414-276-8240, our Madison office at 608-241-9789, or by filling out a Presentation Request Form.

Inform

To ensure that its policy research reaches policymakers and citizens, the Wisconsin Policy Forum actively disseminates its reports via the news media, social media, its policy blog, and other strategies. Forum researchers also are regularly contacted by reporters for their objective insights on policy issues, and they appear often on local radio and television news programs to provide data-driven perspective on important policy issues.
