organization in the world for people who research,
envision and create potential futures. Our mission
is to improve decision-making about the future
by empowering futurists, fostering networks

issues.

Cornish, who went on to write Futuring: Exploring
the Future, a foundational text still used in many
classrooms today.Prominent early members
included Buckminster Fuller, Robert McNamara,
Arthur C. Clarke, Herman Kahn and Alvin and
