2 annual memberships

If there is a common denominator among City Club’s diverse membership, perhaps it is this: that the members of City Club want to better our community. By raising awareness, informing members and the community of public matters, and creating opportunities for dynamic civic dialogue, City Club equips members to lead active, effective lives as citizens. Anyone 18 or over can become a member of City Club.

Perhaps the best benefit of membership is that when you say, “I’m a member of City Club,” you are countering a culture of talking heads and unproductive arguments. You convey to your colleagues, friends, neighbors and elected officials that you value civil discourse and believe an informed citizenry benefits the community.

The Friday Forum is the hallmark of the City Club of Portland. Broadcast on radio and cable television, this weekly public forum offers members the opportunity to listen to and exchange ideas with speakers who address issues on a wide spectrum of topics, from policy and government to education and the arts.

As a City Club member, you may:

•Attend Oregon’s most respected public affairs forums for free.
•Receive a $4 discount on Friday Forum luncheon tickets for yourself and up to two guests per week.
•Be introduced in front of the Club at a Friday Forum and network with influential civic leaders.
•Have the opportunity to ask questions at Friday Forums.
