Welcome to City Club of Central Oregon
Our mission is “to build a conscious and civic minded community through dialog, education and research that results in responsible civic engagement.”
MONTHLY FORUMS
City Club is now holding in-person, livestream and recorded versions of our forums. We are currently requiring full COVID-19* vaccination or proof of a negative COVID-19 within 48 hours of the forum (click here for testing sites) for those attending in-person. This policy will be reviewed on a monthly basis.
*Per CDC, a person is considered fully vaccinated 2 weeks after completion of a two-dose mRNA series or one dose of Janssen vaccine.

“I was new to town. City Club was a great resource to understand the issues in our community and build a network.”
Jessica Biel, Director of Business Development, Pinnacle Architecture“City Club provides a platform that allows our great community to come together and draw strength from diversity. The monthly forums provide education on relevant topics focused on maintaining growth and sustainability in Central Oregon. In coming together, we have unlimited potential to maintain a bright future!”
Dave DeRose, Commercial and Business Banking Manager, US Bank“I value the work of the City Club of Central Oregon because it fosters thoughtful, educated conversations about the pressing issues which will shape our community for generations to come. Through these conversations, we can work together toward the continued success of this place I love!”
Peter Grube, partner, Dream Home Building and Design“Let me tell you a little something about us [City Club]. We don’t agree on everything. We disagree on everything and that is our strength. The one thing we do agree on is civility and we agree on having the conversation and keeping the conversation going.”
Bill Buchanan, partner, Buchanan Schmid, llc“What is most important to me about City Club is that not everyone agrees on issues. Their role, their goal is to bring people together and have the conversation and problem solve.”
