Discussion Groups 2024
The Naples Great Decisions program brings together members to study timely international issues. The topics are selected by the Foreign Policy Association and published in their briefing books. Each group has a leader who facilitates the discussion. All leaders are dedicated to providing a non-partisan forum and endeavor to include each member in the discussion.

Each group is limited to 30 participants. Participants must be members of the Naples Council on World Affairs for the upcoming 2023-24 season.

Each group meets once a week for 8 consecutive weeks on the same weekday at the same time. Sessions will begin in January 2024 and continue for eight weeks ending in March. Each session will last two hours.
