Topics and speakers, selected by the Forum Committee, addressed current political, social, economic,
health, cultural and philosophical subjects from a local, national, or international
viewpoint, generally within the framework of the seven principles of Unitarian
Universalism.

Presenters and topics included local college and university professors,
representatives of various organizations, public officials, medical doctors, and
poets. Racial justice topics and speakers from the
Black and Brown communities are important to Forum.
