GREAT DECISIONS IN FOREIGN POLICY 2026 PART 1 (24) SUNY ADK, 696 Route 9, Gansevoort, 12831, Room 207

Each year the Foreign Policy Association selects eight topics that are currently having significant impact on US foreign policy and our relationships with nations around the world—and this is a year of great changes and much concern! The FPA produces a briefing booklet with curated readings and a relevant video around each of the topics for the year’s “Great Decisions” study.  Because world situations are changing so fast, facilitators are supplementing the FPA materials with current publications. ALL has been hosting Great Decisions courses for many years and many members have had very positive experiences with the group discussions and readings. Come join in the conversations!!!! Sign up early as the class does fill up quickly.
