Then Great Decisions is just the program for you!

Created by the Foreign Policy Association of America (FPA) in 1954, Great Decisions Discussion Program is America’s largest grassroots discussion program that focuses on world affairs. The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book and meeting in a group setting to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today. Discussing the topics with other members plays vital role in your learning and understanding of these issues and everyone benefits from hearing different points of view.

The topics for the 2023 program are:

• • Global Famine
  • Climate Migration
  • Energy Geopolitics
  • Economic Warfare
  • War Crimes
  • Politics in Latin America
  • China and the U.S.
  • Iran at a Crossroads
