Great Decisions
Great Decisions will be returning online with Bud Sielaff as facilitator. Check out his video on the Online Presenters Fall 2020 page.
The first of nine meetings will be Thursday, Sept. 24, 2020 at 9:30 am. . More information will be posted soon.
'Great Decisions' is the title of both the course and the briefing book which is an annually compiled collection of in-depth articles by 'experts' in their various fields of foreign policy matters.
‘Great Decisions’ is the oldest and largest grass roots civic education program of its kind in the country. It is popular not only at MILE but on college campuses and in other venues across America. It is a product of the Foreign Policy Association (FPA) which is an independent, non-partisan, non-governmental, national non-profit and educational organization.
Introducing the program at a past MILE registration/orientation day, one participant stated "those who attend this class recognize and believe, just as the FPA founders, that government and democracy cannot survive without informed citizens. This program offers the best opportunity for becoming informed and for sharing and debating ideas in a non-threatening but stimulating setting."
The Foreign Policy Association Briefing Book for the current year is available for purchase through MILE registration. The current year book is used for both the spring and fall terms.
