As a nonprofit organization, the Forum Club of the Palm Beaches is Florida’s largest non-partisan political and public affairs organization. Since 1976 when President Jimmy Carter served as its inaugural speaker, the Forum Club has hosted a majority of U.S. Supreme Court justices and a variety of thought leaders whose words and actions affect the world in which we live.
The Forum Club caps its membership at 800 individuals with a waiting list. Applications are accepted year-round and must include the names of two current members willing to serve as references, as well as a $25 non-refundable application fee. New members are approved quarterly by the Board of Directors, and the remaining membership fee is due immediately upon acceptance into the Forum Club.
