Member-led Forums

Member-led forums (MLFs) are a volunteer-driven division of Commonwealth Club programming.

These diverse and timely programs range from large speeches to intimate meetings with speakers, from art shows to restaurant tours. MLFs are groups made up of members who coordinate programs within a specific area of interest. MLF programs are always developed and produced by volunteers, separate from those developed and produced by Club staff. MLFs focus on specific subject areas and afford Club members the opportunity to interact with the speakers. Read more »
