Marcin Zieliński joined the Civil Development Forum in 2017. In January this year, he was appointed a member of the Foundation's board and chief economist, which he still remains.

“I would like to thank Professor Balcerowicz and the Foundation’s Council for their trust. It's a huge honor. We are one of the largest think-tanks in Poland, and the FOR’s mission is now more important than ever due to the upcoming elections. We will fight populism and promote a liberal perspective and common sense in the public debate,” declares the new president, Marcin Zieliński.
