welcome to the Columbia basin badger club

badger forums are free until 2027
The Columbia Basin Badger Club was founded in 2008. Our purpose — then and now — is to promote civil discourse among people with differing points of view. Give us a try.

A nonpartisan nonprofit organization that promotes civil discourse by providing public forums on important issues of the day.

Hybrid Forums Prove Popular

The last three Badger Forums have been offered to both an in-person audience and via Zoom webinar. In each case, we had at least one speaker who joined us on Zoom and interacted with others in the in-person audience.

We're grateful to the Richland Public Library for hosting our first two hybrid Badger Forums, and to the Kennewick Irrigation District for hosting this month's forum on water.

Our Next Badger Forum

We're putting the finishing touches on our May Badger Forum on Wildfires. We'll announce the date and location next week.

our latest forum: The Future Runs Through It: WATER

Here is our Special to the Herald that ran before the Forum. All Badger Forums since 2020 are in our Video Gallery.

HAVE AN IDEA FOR A BADGER FORUM?
Tell us about it. Our program committee has developed this handy downloadable Program Development Form (PDF) to help bring your ideas to life. It doesn't have to be perfect, but it's a great way to get started. Send your ideas to info@columbiabasinbadgers.com.
