Member-led forums & Chapters contact
Commonwealth Club World Affairs offers a variety of speaker programs produced by volunteer members of the organization. They take place in our member-led forums and chapters. Below you will find contact information for each forum chair; click on the forum's name to learn more about each specific forum.
Member-led forums (MLFs) are a volunteer-driven division of Commonwealth Club programming. They are organized by areas of interest. These diverse programs cover a wide range of topics on an ongoing basis throughout the year. They range from discussions with speakers to art shows to book discussion groups. MLFs are volunteer-run, organized by Club members who coordinate and produce programs within specific areas of interest.
Commonwealth Club World Affairs chapters are location-defined program series in the East Bay, Marin County, Napa Valley and the Peninsula. Engage in person with leading experts from around the globe. These volunteer-run regional chapters are integral parts of Commonwealth Club World Affairs and enable us to serve even more people through thoughtful, engaging live programs that let the public learn and stay connected throughout the Bay Area.
