Become a Member

We are deeply grateful for the continued support from Ford Hall Forum members. It is these individuals that enable the Forum to continue its historic public conversation – one that is now in its 100th year.

The Forum's members are this generation's stewards of its century-long Boston tradition of
    - honoring free speech,
    - hosting thought-provoking speakers, and
    - discussing powerful ideas from across the political spectrum.

Their conversations take place in person, for free, and in settings that facilitate frank and open debate.


You will receive:
    - exclusive reserved seating up front at all events;
    - priority notice of programs; and
    - special invitations to receptions.

You can become a member by making a tax-deductible membership contribution to the Forum Hall Forum in one of the three ways listed below. Soon after doing so, you will recieve your membership package in mail that includes a membership card, an acknowledgement letter, and a gift.


For a limited time only, all members will recieve a "Century of Free Speech" brass bookmark.

*At these levels of support, members will receive a free CD from the Forum's archives, including conversations with Al Gore, Maya Angelou, Pete Seeger, Martin Luther King, Jr., and Robert Frost, among others.

Unless requested otherwise, all members who contribute $250 or more are acknowledged on all promotional material, including seasaon brochures and the Forum's website.
