Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs.

Annually the Foreign Policy Association selects a set of topics and publishes a related briefing book.

Around the country, local groups organize discussions and presentations on the annual topics. The League of Women Voters of Williamsburg Area sponsors a Great Decisions program with speakers and brief discussions after the presentations.

Our local Great Decisions series usually begins in February. In the fall, we contact our League members to register and will also post signup information on this website. Since the COVID pandemic, we offer the program with both in-person and webinar options.

Since the spring of 2021, the League of Women Voters of the Williamsburg Area has funded eBooks | WRL for the Williamsburg Regional Library about influential women in American history, civic engagement, and government. Students of all ages can learn new things and deepen their understanding of American history.

The Reading Group meets regularly to discuss books on public issues and policies. We invite all members to come. Details of title, time, and place will be in our newsletters.

Past selections have included Dark Money by Jane Mayer and Lies My Teacher Told Me: Everything Your American History Textbook Got Wrong by James W. Loewen.

Contact Reading Group for details of location and directions. Please join us!

Beginning in 2022, we award scholarships to one or more seniors graduating from local area public high schools who are planning to pursue studies in civics, government, politics, law, or related areas of study.

In the spring, we organize a Women's History Exhibit at the Williamsburg Regional Library with the support of the library.
