On this Giving Tuesday, we’re reflecting on the progress we’ve made so far—and how much further we can go together.

Your generosity has been truly heartwarming. Thanks to your support, we’re moving closer to our $10,000 goal to advance innovative Sedona Conference programs, the Richard Braman Memorial Scholarship, and the new Craig Weinlein Viewpoint Diversity Scholarship.

We hope you’ll help ensure these transformative experiences remain accessible for current and future members.

During this busy and festive season—and in these turbulent times—we’re reminded of the forum for rigorous, forward-looking dialogue that Richard Braman established more than 15 years ago, and of the dedication Craig Weinlein brought to advancing its mission.
