Sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association, Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs. The program involves reading topics in the Great Decisions Briefing Book and meeting to discuss the most critical global issues facing America.

AAUW Naperville Area hosts two discussion groups, AM and PM, both open to AAUW members and the Naperville Area community. 

The discussions are free but a briefing book is required to fully participate. In October 2025, the Great Decisions Briefing Book can be purchased for $29 as part of a bulk order through AAUW Naperville Area. After October the print or electronic book can be ordered directly from the Foreign Policy Organization. A DVD is also available for purchase that includes master classes on each topic.
