Great Decisions

The nation's largest discussion program on world affairs

This eight week program is produced by the Foreign Policy Association, whose mission for more than 100 years has been to foster public awareness, understanding, and informed discussion of
U.S. foreign policy and global issues

Our local discussion series is co-sponsored by the League of Women Voters of La Plata County, the Durango Branch of the American Association of University Women, and the Durango Public Library. From the second week of February through the second week of May, participants meet every other Tuesday from 11:45 a.m. to 1:45 p.m. at the Durango Public Library, 1900 E. Third Avenue.

Each session begins with a professionally produced video and brief lecture from the Foreign Policy Association, followed by a lively 90-minute discussion led by volunteer facilitators from our community. An accompanying Great Decisions briefing book is available for purchase from the Foreign Policy Association, and a reference copy may be consulted at the Durango Public Library Reference Desk.

All discussions are free and open to the public. More details and full descriptions of each topic at www.gddurango.org
