The Sonoma County Forum

The Sonoma County Forum is one of the county's premier women's organizations. Founded in 1979, the Forum brings together women with diverse backgrounds who value learning, community and friendship. Read more about The Forum.

Twice-monthly program meetings feature stimulating speakers and enable members to connect with the community and learn about its vast resources. Social events,  lunch outings and tours of local sites provide a more intimate environment for networking and personal interaction.

If you’re looking to connect with an engaging and diverse group of women,
​The Sonoma County Forum may be for you!

Program Meetings (breakfast)

The Sonoma County Forum offers an exciting array of speakers including leaders in business, education, health care, the arts, and local government. Our speakers provide an excellent way to gain knowledge of the community and learn about its vast resources. 
Breakfast/program meetings are held the first and third Thursdays of each month at 8:00am at the Epicenter, 3215 Coffey Lane in Santa Rosa. 

Social Activities

The Forum members have many opportunities to connect with other members beyond the scheduled twice monthly breakfast meetings. These members-only activities include book groups, a lunch or happy hour get-together called Epicureans, and special events as scheduled.

Getting together for lunch or happy hour at different locales around the county gives members a chance to catch up with friends as well as try different cuisines and visit new restaurants.

Book Clubs

Forum members have formed three book clubs, each with their own reading list and schedule. Meetings are informal and often held in members’ homes. Friends and non-members are welcome when space allows.

Special Events

The Forum Board plans a variety of activities throughout the year. Epicureans meet  for lunch or happy hour at neighboring establishments. Outings are planned with activities such as a visit and tour to places like Pepperwood Preserve, Cornerstone Gardens or a Wine Country Walking Tour. Socials are held occasionally at members’ homes. Special events give members a chance to expand their horizons and connect on a more personal level with other Forum members.
