Think of it as GA 101…but less formal than school and way more fun.
The GA’s star-studded kickoff features an unprecedented discussion with two Supreme Court Justices. Award-winning political correspondents talk politics and policy in the aftermath of the 2014 elections. A global religious leader provides inspiration, and our poet in residence performs. And signature multimedia moments bring the Federation story to life.
