Great Decisions Series 2025

About this event


Great Decisions
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.
