Join us for an evening with Fish Stark
(President of the American Humanist Association). We will also be going to dinner after the talk.
TOPIC
The Future of Humanism & Growth of the Movement: Why is the AHA growing? What strategies are working? What did last year's market research study reveal about how to communicate humanism to a broad audience? What do we have to offer at this particular moment?
