The Great Decisions Program returns in 2025! Our local League recruits speakers on the world topics selected annually by the Foreign Policy Association. Registration for the eight-lecture series includes a briefing book created by the Foreign Policy Association.
Seven of our presenters will speak in person at the library; one presenter will only address us on zoom. All sessions can be viewed on Zoom.
Attend in-person at the Theatre of the Williamsburg Regional Library (WRL) on Scotland Street or watch on
Zoom. You can 'mix and match' - come to some sessions in-person, and others online.
ABOUT THE PROGRAM
- Briefing books. Registrants will be notified when and where the briefing books will be available for pickup.
- Cost. $75 individual; $100 household; one briefing book included.
Non-member registration adds on an extra $3 processing fee (thus: $78 for individual; $103 for household).
MEMBERS! TO AVOID THE NON-REFUNDABLE $3 PROCESSING FEE, YOU MUST LOGIN BEFORE REGISTERING.
- Dates. Eight consecutive Tuesday morning sessions, each starting at 10:30 am (Feb 4-March 25)
- Location. Seven sessions are in-person at Williamsburg Regional Library and simulcast on Zoom. One session (March 4) will be a Zoom-only event. Those who prefer a larger screen can attend at the Library and view it on the big screen in the Williamsburg Library Theatre.
- Parking. For the program, you may park on the streets around the library without concern for ticketing. These special times run from 9:45 am to noon.
