Friday Forums

Friday Forums, City Club's ongoing lunchtime lecture series, engage audiences in issues of significance, prominence, urgency and humanity. From speeches by government and community leaders, to panel discussions about health, arts, technology and more, Friday Forums give complex subjects relevance and clarity, and keep Oregonians informed about the most pressing issues of our time.
