Your passport to global affairs

Great Decisions is America's largest world affairs discussion program.  The program is made available by NCWA in Naples and Southern Lee County as part of our total international affairs experience.

NCWA’s 24 Great Decisions groups - with up to 35 members each - meet weekly for eight weeks January to March for vibrant, interactive discussions of global issues. Participants prepare by reading short background articles from a Great Decisions briefing book plus relevant background information.  Then through active and respectful group discussions, we try to reach a decision on the weekly subject. Our group members come from a wide array of backgrounds with international affairs experiences ranging from new to global travelers to international business executives to retired diplomats to simply intellectually curious people with deep interest in the world around them.   

NCWA group leaders have an average of 10 years' experience in the program. Our Group Leaders manage the discussions and make sure all have a chance to be heard. Our groups aim for a social, fun and nonpartisan atmosphere that fosters learning as well as long-term friendships among group members. The program is open to members of NCWA. Welcome in!
