The Great Decisions In-Person
Produced by the nonpartisan Foreign Policy Association since 1954, The Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs. The program involves reading essays in the Great Decisions Briefing Book, then meeting at the Library to watch a corresponding video episode and take part in a moderated, informal discussion on the most critical global issues facing America today.
The program runs 8 consecutive Mondays, March 3-April 21, 2025, from 2:30-4pm in the Library’s Assini Meeting Room. Our moderator is Mark Sample, History Professor at Monreo Community College. Registration is required. Visit gateslibrary.org/great-decisions or call 585-247-6446 to reigsiter. Attend any or all sessions.
