Membership
"Inspiring, cutting edge, urbane" - these are some of the ways our members describe the experience of participating in a Springfield Public Forum lecture and discussion. One of the only free lecture series of its kind in the nation, the Public Forum depends upon your support. It is the generous support of community and business members that assists the Forum in maintaining our legacy of "great speakers - great discourse - free to the public" by helping to defray the ever-increasing costs associated with bringing such illustrious speakers to our community. Expenses include the rental of Symphony Hall, speaker and travel fees and printing costs.
Our annual membership and fundraising campaigns support each year's lecture series, with the monies for our entire budget being raised annually. This year, we are asking our members to make an additional gift above and beyond their annual membership support.
In celebration of the Forum's 75th anniversary, please join our 75th Anniversary Society by making a gift of $75 in addition to your membership contribution. These additional contributions will be used to build our Diamond Anniversary Fund, to sustain our legacy of great speakers free to all for the next 75 years.
