differences - Which preposition to use with "forum"

I would hugely appreciate your help thinking through the tagline for a new online forum we are creating.



The current version reads:




A Forum on Our Economy, National Security and Sustainability.





On seems to be the most common preposition to follow forum, except when there is a gerund involved – e.g., a forum for discussing, a forum for sharing, etc.



I would really like to use about but that seems unconventional.



Also, if we said




A Forum on National Security, Sustainability, and the/our Economy,





that would seem to work. But we want Economy to be first in the list of three and we don't want to say Economics so we went with our.
