Our Team
As a non-profit community organization, INFORUM benefits from the incredible work and effort of many amazing people in the INFORUM community and the Commonwealth Club of California – including staff, volunteers, board members, donors, speakers, partners, attendees, and members.
They help us bring inspired conversations to the Bay Area.
