The Torch Club of Richmond

About Torch

TORCH was formed to facilitate the free flow of ideas and fellowship across disciplinary boundaries.  TORCH exists to breakdown the narrowing tendencies of over-specialization.  TORCH exists to foster the highest standards of professional ethics and civic well-being.

Torch as an organization has been in existence since 1924. TORCH Clubs operate in 75 locations in the United States and Canada . Each has a monthly dinner meeting, highlighted by the presentation of a paper by a member (or guest) on a topic of interest to modern society.   The free flow of ideas is encouraged. Through this sharing of knowledge and points of view, TORCH becomes a unique and beneficial experience for Richmond citizens and society at large.  

Richmond TORCH has been in operation since 1941, and its members have included many luminaries of the city and region. It has grown to be one of the largest and most active clubs in the nation.  For membership information, click on the link to the left.
