Henken began his work with the Wisconsin Policy Forum (previously Public Policy Forum) in 2008. Henken’s work is said to have unique political heterodoxy. While honored, Henken spoke on the topic of nonpartisanship in the age of polarization and stated, “We can all support this concept, this notion of good government.”
Forum Board Chairman Steve Radke on our President, Rob Henken:
“Others have their value come from political influence or partisan maneuvering. Rob gains his value from being a totally non-partisan provider of facts.”
