The Foundation’s Lifetime Members Luncheon, held in conjunction with the Academy’s annual meeting in Chicago, is a meaningful expression of philanthropy and stewardship. This invitation-only event brings together Foundation Lifetime Members, Foundation sponsors, members of the Forensic and Business Valuation (F&BV) Division, and invited guests for a celebration of impact and service.

During the luncheon, the Foundation installs its incoming Officers and/or Directors and honors new Lifetime Members, F&BV Division Members, and Legacy Donors whose generosity sustains the Foundation’s mission. Attendees also view brief video messages from select grant recipients, providing powerful, firsthand insight into how donor support translates into measurable impact through the Foundation’s grants program.

The luncheon itself is made possible through the generous underwriting of Foundation sponsors. Their support ensures that the vast majority of contributions received can be directed toward charitable programs and grants—maximizing the reach and long-term impact of every donor dollar.
