Great Decisions - a Foreign Policy Discussion Group


The Ligonier Great Decisions group follows the national Foreign Policy Association's Great Decisions' 2025 program. A copy of the book, which includes all 8 topics that will be discussed, can be found at the Ligonier Valley Library - ask staff for assistance. If you would like your own copy, please attend a meeting and discuss getting a book with the moderator. For more information on the program, visit the national website at https://www.fpa.org/great_decisions/

The Great Decisions group is free and new members are always welcome! Please bring an open mind and be ready for a great discussion!

The meetings are generally held on the third Saturday of each month at the Ligonier Valley Library. These are in-person meetings. If you are interested in attending virtually, please contact the library or the moderator at least 3 days before the meeting. If you have any questions, please stop in or call the library at 724-238-6451. You do not need to register for this program.
