REMINDER:

“GREAT DECISIONS” MEETS TONIGHT

Join us tonight at 6:00 in the Walpole Town Library for “NATO at a Strategic Crossroads,” moderated by Adrian Basora, former United States Ambassador to Czechoslovakia and the Czech Republic. This promises to be a highly informative look at NATO’s evolution over the past 75 years, the Alliance’s original purpose, its structure, present challenges and options for the future.

Adrian Basora is a trustee of the Foreign Policy Research Institute and chairs its Eurasia Program. He is a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and is on the international advisory board of the Auschwitz Institute for the Prevention of Genocide and Mass Atrocities. During his 33 years in the U.S. Foreign Service, Adrian served in former Soviet Bloc countries and helped develop America’s programs in support of their transition to democracy while serving at the National Security Council (1989–91).

As NATO’s 32 members – along with leaders from Australia, New Zealand, Japan and South Korea – meet this week in Washington to celebrate the Alliance’s 75th anniversary and grapple with threats to global security, we will consider NATO’s relevance and future role in a changing world.  

We look forward to seeing you either in person or via Zoom. If you are joining via Zoom, please log on at 6:20, after the Foreign Policy Association’s Master Class video, which we are not permitted to show on Zoom. For the Zoom link, contact Jane Malmberg in advance of the meeting: jmalmberg@walpoletownlibrary.org.
