The Sonoma County Forum

The Sonoma County Forum is one of the county's premier professional women's organizations. It was founded in October 1979 to provide networking opportunities for female community leaders. 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 are looking to connect with a cross-section of professional and interesting women, The Sonoma County Forum is 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. We follow all CDC regulations regarding Covid 19.  Masks are optional and proof of COVID vaccination status is no longer required. 

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

The Forum members have formed two book clubs.. Both meet monthly at members' homes, one on Mondays and the other on Tuesdays. Each group sets its own book list for the coming year.

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.
