Speaker Series

 

The Chevy Chase At Home Speaker Series invites well-respected authors, journalists, academics, and experts to speak to our community.

Often nationally known, these speakers offer their expertise on a wide array of fascinating topics, including local history, current affairs, and personal well-being.

These free events bring thoughtful conversation and intellectual enrichment to the entire community. Generally held each month, they are open to our members and volunteers, as well as the wider community.
