About Us - History

In 1980 a few concerned citizens and business leaders in Northeast Ohio began meeting together to prayerfully consider changing the direction of American public policy. This small group of men and women decided to establish an organization that was different. Through much prayer and discussion, the founders of the Ohio Roundtable decided to strategically organize a state-based public policy organization founded upon the mission statement of "Restoring traditional Judeo-Christian principles to American public policy.

America was built one citizen, one community, one state at a time. Seeing America change for the better means applying that same formula today. The commitment of the Ohio Roundtable and Freedom Forum founders is to operate the most effective, consistent and influential public policy organization possible - here in Ohio. The hope was that if we do our job well enough here in our state and with our members of Congress, perhaps we can encourage others across the land to share our common vision.

After two decades of providing this kind of state-based leadership the results are significant. A timeline of the accomplishments is available on this site. More importantly, the work of Roundtable and Freedom Forum continue to help real people make a real difference in the world of public policy.
