Though we cannot yet meet in person, we look forward to hosting our second “Liberty + the Future” NYC alumni panel discussion. We hope you will join us virtually the evening of September 17 to hear from fellow TFAS alumni about the changes that have happened in NYC during the pandemic and what is next for the city.

TFAS alumni representing different sectors of the economy will share their thoughts about what is ahead for NYC with our panel: “Better or Worse: the New Post-2020 New York.” Panelists include Professor of Journalism at The King’s College and Executive Director of The Media Project, Paul Glader ’99, ’00, Founder and Managing Member of Teague Theatrical Group Townsend Teague ’04, and TFAS Robert Novak Journalism Fellow, Kristin Tate, Novak ’19. TFAS staff will join our alumni for what is sure to be a lively conversation about the changes that have shaped NYC over the last months and what we can expect for the future.

Join your TFAS peers to hear from our featured speakers on issues related to free enterprise, economic and political liberty, limited government and individual responsibility.

The event is a part of our quarterly lecture series and networking event exclusively available to TFAS alumni and friends.

The series is made possible through the generosity of the Achelis and Bodman Foundation. Their gift, made in support of our 50^th Anniversary Liberty + Leadership Campaign initiative to engage and mobilize the global TFAS alumni network, allows alumni leaders to continue their education in liberty.
