MISSION: The Gillespie Forum was founded in 1988 by June Gillespie in memory of her husband Aaron Gillespie. Its mission is to inform and engage the community by presenting viewpoints, programs and speakers on significant issues. The Forum cooperates with local colleges and organizations to host events, lectures and film screenings on diverse topics ranging from the crisis in contemporary media to the Holocaust, and from Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt to terrorism.
