Last week, Conlon Public Strategies President Kevin Conlon traveled to Washington, D.C., to attend the annual Foundations on the Hill (FOTH) Conference, hosted by United Philanthropy Forum in partnership with the Council on Foundations and Independent Sector. The conference brought together hundreds of philanthropic leaders from across the country for strategic meetings with congressional offices and federal agencies.

Kevin was part of the Illinois delegation, which was organized by Forefront. “It was an honor to represent Illinois alongside such dedicated leaders in philanthropy and nonprofits,” said Kevin Conlon. “Thanks to Forefront’s excellent preparation and coordination, we were able to have many meaningful, productive conversations with members of Congress and their staffs from 18 different congressional offices.”

During the conference, the Illinois delegation met with Congressman Jesus “Chuy” Garcia (IL-04), pictured here (center) with Kevin (far right) and fellow delegates at the U.S. Capitol.
