Event Options
Use this line-up of Trinity Forum programs as a base from which you can create anything from an evening dinner lecture to a monthly seminar to a weekend retreat to a week-long “vacation with a purpose.”
In the past, groups have added Trinity Forum discussions as a module at industry conferences, held retreats for their Boards of Directors, and used our materials in corporate ethics seminars. Currently, city-focused leadership groups are holding regular breakfast gatherings in Boston and a variety of events in Orlando.
- Each of our Fellows and Moderators is an excellent speaker as well as being trained in facilitating discussion around a text.
- For resource-based events, we recommend that materials be distributed ahead of time so that participants have the opportunity to do the reading that will help take the discussion deeper.
Take a look at our Events How-To page, and then contact our if you have more questions or you’re ready to move forward.
