The American Leadership Forum is excited to annouce the 2025 Dialogue in Action Signature Series, a quarterly dialogue series with the aim to bring together Senior Fellows, experts, and community citizens to tackle our community’s most pressing concerns through meaningful dialogue leading to lasting solutions.

For Q1 2025, we have partnered with CIVIL DIALOGUES to host:

Immigration 2025: Challenges and Solutions

America’s broken immigration system is now front and center with President Donald Trump’s second term underway. From the specter of ICE raids and mass deportations to the halting of refugee resettlement and diminishing birthright citizenship, there is a lot to unpack as the administration makes headlines on a daily basis.

• What steps should businesses take to deal with the changing landscape, especially those that rely heavily on immigrant labor?
• What is the likely human and economic impact on local communities?
• And what opportunities lie ahead for sensible immigration reform to increase our national security and identify the 11 million+ undocumented persons already here?

Our stellar panel invites you to join them in conversation as we explore the challenges and solutions to fixing an immigration system long overdue for repair.
