Great Decisions

What is Great Decisions?

The Great Decisions Discussion Program is Foreign Policy Association's public education initiative to create more informed and engaged citizens by bringing people together to discuss U.S. foreign policy and global affairs issues. Each year FPA selects topics and produces a briefing book, as well as a television series on PBS and a National Opinion Report.

UNAR assists Great Decisions groups each year by hosting a kick-off event to introduce the new briefing book. UNAR also orders large quantities of books for our local groups.
