This second article in the series presents key strategies for conducting community forums as well as ways to avoid potential pitfalls that hinder the effectiveness of community forums. This document is PE071, one of a series of the Department of Family, Youth and Community Sciences, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, University of Florida, UF/ IFAS, Gainesville, FL 32611: First published: October 2003. https://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/pd060
