The last three seasons of The Chesapeake Forum have brought an amazing array of speakers to the cultural landscape of our community.  Jane Pauley, Mae Jemison, Ronan Tynan, Dave Barry, Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, Joan Lunden, and Kwame Alexander reinforced our organization’s stated mission: 
“The Chesapeake Forum seeks to bring dynamic and diverse high-profile speakers to the Chesapeake community, thereby promoting education and learning among the general public.”
We also showcased the musical talents and volunteerism of the students in our local schools.

Our program lost some momentum during the Covid-19 pandemic when large group activities were shut down.  Our Board of Directors has voted to dissolve The Chesapeake Forum’s nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization at the end of this fiscal year (June 30, 2023).

It has been a pleasure to serve you.  We encourage our supporters to continue to patronize cultural opportunities in Chesapeake and our region.
