Covering this year's Prescient subject

It's the hottest topic that underlies the most critical of America's current problems. Selected as the ILEAD subject last September, Divisiveness has become the most important topic in our analysis of, and dialogue on, America's major issues. If one could solve this problem of ideological divisiveness, we could dialogue together on all of our major problems. But if we can't, then....... we hasten the long slide down into some kind of national disappointment or even disaster.

It's an all-important issue, an all-important ILEAD series. The combination of Corruption (last summer's subject) and Divisiveness (this year) is a toxic mixture, one we must first understand, and then, address.

The ILEAD program mailer will be sent out to all members shortly, so you can start booking immediately. Don't miss this year's program! It is a stunner!
