Welcome to the Mid-Coast Forum on Foreign Relations

The Mid-Coast Forum on Foreign Relations was organized in 1983 by a small group of area residents with a special interest in the United States role in international affairs. Membership is currently about 150. The group includes individuals who have had considerable experience abroad with the United States government, corporations, and private agencies. Also represented are writers, physicians, educators, journalists, lawyers, businesspeople, and others seeking to stay informed on international issues. Local high-school students with a special foreign affairs interest are invited to attend meetings on a rotating basis.

The Forum meets during winter months in Erickson Hall at Point Lookout in Northport and during summer months at Marcel’s Restaurant at the Samoset Resort in Rockport. Meetings are held on the second Monday of each month throughout the year and run from 11:30AM to 2PM. The format includes a brief social period, speaker’s presentation, question period and luncheon. Speakers typically arrive the day before and are hosted by Forum members.
