Program Sponsorships
As a valued Chautauqua Women’s Club member, we know you share our commitment to lifelong learning. Since 1889, CWC has provided relevant programming to the CHQ community. Our featured lecture platform, Contemporary Issues Forum (CIF), takes place at 3:00 pm on Saturdays in the Hall of Philosophy.
Program sponsorship allows members like you to support CWC’s beloved CIF program each summer. Your sponsorship is a tribute to CWC’s steadfast commitment to advancing life-long learning and intellectual curiosity.
As a sponsor, you will connect with lecturers, attend receptions and dinners, receive preferred lecture seating, and be prominently recognized for your generous support.
We are immensely grateful to our early 2024 sponsors for their generous support and belief in our exceptional programming. Your commitment is the driving force behind our success, and we couldn’t do this without you.
