Message from the Director
The Dick Thornburgh Forum for Law and Public Policy supports a wide variety of programs that reflect the aspirations for public service of Governor Thornburgh in an extraordinary life of leadership.

Among its goals are to promote able and principled governance at all levels, to advance the rule of law at home and abroad, and to assist the government’s response to the special needs of persons with disabilities, many of them wounded in service to our country.
