Instant Issues Brown Bag Lunchtime Discussions
Bring your lunch or order a sandwich. Our lunchtime programs provide a stimulating break from work or play or life!
From distinguished speakers with topics such as how to make the most of international trade and negotiate across cultures, to discussions by various global experts who willingly share their experiences of people, places, and humanity, Brown Bag lunches cover a variety of subjects and opinions in an hour.
Our speakers bring us news and information that explores the stories behind the international headlines without the twists and turns of media or public relations spins. Best of all, they are approachable, and they always welcome our questions, whether informed or elementary!
The Instant Issues brown bag series is sponsored by A. G. Edwards & Sons, Inc.
Review our Past Speakers/Topics for examples of recent lunches, then check our Calendar of Events for the upcoming schedule. Automatic updates can be sent to your e-mail address when you join online.
