About City Club Missoula
City Club Missoula brings people into the same room to talk through the issues that affect daily life in the Missoula area, from housing and health care to education and public safety. Its forums are built for actual discussion, with speakers, audience Q&A, and Table Talk that leaves space for different views to be heard. If you care about civic life that feels informed and open rather than distant, this is the kind of place that keeps it grounded.
What sets City Club Missoula apart is the format itself: public forums where speakers and audience members share the same space for civil discussion of local issues. That makes it less like a lecture and more like a community conversation, with topics that stretch from local news and community planning to the annual State of the Community forum.
