Welcome to the Second Season of the Chesapeake Forum!
Dear Friends of The Chesapeake Forum,
As we face the many challenges life brings, we have just as many opportunities. The year 2020 brought the birth of a new organization, The Chesapeake Forum. The inaugural season featured three outstanding speakers in a wide variety of fields. Jane Pauley, Mae Jemison, and Ronan Tynan shared their life experiences and expanded our horizons. You can see them on this website.
Our second season will bring three new fascinating speakers from diverse fields. They will entertain and expand our knowledge in a setting that brings our community together once again. Dave Barry, Dr. Freeman Hrabowski, and Joan Lunden will speak this spring. Subscription tickets are available through this website and by mail (P.O. Box 15864, Chesapeake, Virginia 23328). We look forward to seeing you at each of our speaker events.

Mission Statement
