Forum Proposal Form

The mission of the Columbus Metropolitan Club is to connect people and ideas through community conversation. To this end, CMC holds public forums nearly every Wednesday featuring a moderator and anywhere between one and four panelists.

What’s been in the news, or on your mind, that CMC should be talking about? What is current, relevant, and newsworthy? We want to hear your idea!

A few thoughts: CMC does occasionally hold forums that are commemorative (marking notable anniversaries and milestones), but submissions that foster a healthy debate between opposing perspectives are more likely to get the nod from our staff and our editorial board, known as the Program Committee.

Please also keep in mind that CMC receives many more proposals than there are available forum days.

As you consider a topic submission, note that CMC’s Program Committee will consider it using the following criteria:

• Is the idea newsworthy, relevant, and current?
• Is it an issue or topic with multiple perspectives that can generate a healthy dialogue among panelists?
• Is it a conversation Central Ohio needs to have?
• Will it lead to a more informed citizenry?
• Will it generate an audience?

Thank you for suggesting CMC’s next community conversation!
