"麻州講座"系列慶20週年 邀民眾今晚起免費試課

 As the Commonwealth Seminar approaches our milestone 20th Anniversary, I'm often asked: "How does the Seminar 'Open the doors of government to everyone'?" Or "What do your students learn?" Or "Why should *I* take the Seminar?"

Rather than keep explaining (I'm getting lazier as I get older), I figured I'd just invite you to join us for a class or two during our current Winter 2022 session (FOR FREE!).

You'll experience and learn first-hand why 99.9 percent (... there's always one) of our 1,500+ alumni have responded that they'd recommend the Seminar to others or take it again. You'll also meet our diverse, thoughtful and generous Winter 2022 cohort who will inspire you with their energy and passion to create positive change in their communities.

Please check out our course schedule below, and see if anything piques your interest. If you'd like to join us for any of the classes listed below, please email us at: Info@CommonwealthSeminar.org, and we'd be happy to send you the Zoom link to join us.

Thanks, and hope you'll take me up on our offer!
