Washington, D.C.
Resilience Forum 
 
The Resilience Forum serves as an invitation only discussion and public policy shaping network focused on national strategy and resilience themes. The Forum follows Chatham House rules of nonattribution so as to encourage open dialogue and a candid exchange between leaders representing government, commercial and civil society organizations.

Sponsorship is drawn from individual, foundation donors, and corporate sponsors. The Forum intends to seek not-for-profit tax-exempt status.

Resilience White Papers, videotaped interviews, and table-top scenarios will serve as some of the basis for information dissemination.

A Social Network for Resilience will be established in early 2010 as the basis for building measurable adaptive capacity across all of the critical infrastructure sectors.
A new political administration can represent a significant opportunity to shape strategic thinking and action that acknowledges the deeply complex nature of the challenges facing America in the next few years.

Many of these challenges can best be characterized as systemic risks ranging from global economic destabilization, climate change, cyber warfare, critical infrastructure resilience, asymmetric warfare, and the impending swine flu pandemic (H1N1) that require whole systems thinking and multi-stakeholder engagement on an unprecendented scale.
