The Columbus Metropolitan Club

Each week, the Columbus Metropolitan Club hosts a forum discussion on topics that range that gamut, from business to policy to social services and more. The discussions might feature a diverse panel of experts, or it could be an interview with a high-level community or business leader, with our customary audience Q&A at the end.
