Pros

Occasionally good for networking and this is a mostly volunteer organization where it is possible to meet people with diverse interests and backgrounds..

Cons

This is a highly political organization and there remain very few programs of value compared to a few years ago. Lots of lip service to volunteers has caused many to terminate the relationship. MIT is such a great institution, but the MIT Enterprise Forum does a disservice to the broader MIT community due to poor leadership. There used to be 30-40 interesting programs annually but now there are only a few programs that are good.
