If so, Great Decisions may just be what you’re looking for!

Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs. The program involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book and meeting in a discussion group to discuss the most critical international issues facing the United States, and the global community, today. From libraries, homes, retirement communities, universities, high schools, and more, meeting locations are endless.

• Located all around the Greater Kansas City metro and U.S.
• Open to individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and interests
• Free to join (all you need is a $25 briefing book, which will provide all of the Great Decisions reading material you’ll need for the entire year!)
• Non-partisan and centered on civil discussion
