 RANDALL R. MORTON, Founder and President
Welcome to the website of The Progressive Forum, Houston’s civic speaker organization whose aim is to enrich our democracy and culture by presenting the great minds who we believe are moving humanity and life towards success, speakers from all the fields of human endeavor—the sciences and humanities as well as politics and public affairs. Our progressive viewpoint is rooted in the mainstream constitutional, enlightenment, and egalitarian values of America’s founding fathers, moderate values that need affirming, now more than ever. Come join us!

We originated a new model in the field of public affairs to deliver a higher quality experience to larger audiences. We use the finest theaters, we pay speaker fees to present the top intellectual stars, and we use intensive marketing and convenient box office services. Typical for performance companies, ticket sales cover only half of event costs. We depend on our sponsors to provide this high level of quality. We are a nonpartisan, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization. To learn how to make a tax-deductible contribution, please click here.
