Statement Concerning COVID-19 & Upcoming Event
Dear Supporters of The Chesapeake Forum,
Both Jane Pauley (January 29), and Dr. Mae Jemison (March 3) brought inspiring messages along with the uplifting music of the Deep Creek High School Orchestra and the Western Branch High School Cammerata. Our final speaker of this first season, Ronan Tynan, was scheduled to speak on May 14, 2020. Due to the COVID-19 virus, Governor Northam has issued Executive Order #55 implementing a Stay at Home order in the state of Virginia until June 10, 2020. Chesapeake Conference Center will also be following that procedure.
The Chesapeake Forum must postpone our scheduled May 14 speech until the present pandemic subsides and our state and country move out of these uncertain times to a new normalcy. We look forward to rescheduling our third speaker for all season ticket holders and those who wish to purchase individual tickets. We will post the date and time of our third speaker on our website later in the summer. If you have any questions, please feel to call our number 346-9163.
Blessings on each of you and please stay healthy.
Rebecca C. W. Adams
President

Mission Statement
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.
About
In a world of diverse opinions, what does it take to bring a community together? A small group of ten citizens met over several months during the winter of 2018-19 to answer that question and form the framework of a non-profit organization.

The Chesapeake Forum is a subscription ticket program. A season subscription including tickets to three speakers will cost $125. The Forum reserves the right to substitute a speaker in the event that the announced speaker must cancel.
Venue
The Chesapeake Forum speaker programs will be held at the Chesapeake Conference Center. Located in the Greenbrier area, the facility features 39,000 square feet of versatile function space with room for up to 200 exhibits.
