CCWA is dedicated to providing space for civil discussions from many viewpoints & improving the general good—the common wealth. Nonprofit, nonpartisan. Commonwealth Club World Affairs (CCWA), the Bay Area’s single, leading public forum destination, is dedicated to reenergizing dynamic civic space by cultivating new ideas, connection and action through engaging live programs and inspiring stories. We believe that solutions to the world’s most challenging problems are found when the private, philanthropic, and public sectors work together. Every day, we convene thought leaders, change makers, and engaged citizens to share ideas, learn from each other, and effect change. Connecting people in this way leads to informed thinking, conversation, and actions that transcend traditional boundaries and lead to lasting solutions to global problems.
