There are groups with similar-sounding names in many Florida cities, but no official relationship exists between them and the original.
The organization is open by membership to professionals interested in political dialogue and discussion.
The meetings usually are open to the media and may lead to reports on various politicians and issues.
The club was founded and incorporated in Miami, Florida, in 1964 by several individuals led by Stephen Paul Ross, a local political consultant.
The name and format were copied later in other Florida cities without permission from the original club.
