Acacia Foundation is launching “Evening Discussions Series” where distinguished speakers will share their perspective on a wide range of topics concerning Seattle, Pacific Northwest region, and the world in general and exchange ideas in an interactive environment with the audience. The speakers, among others, will include civic leaders, academicians, government officials and corporate executives. Discussions take place second Thursdays of each month.
Acacia Foundation believes that this discussion series will play an important role towards achieving the foundation’s goals by establishing friendship, promoting cross–cultural dialogue and strengthening our community.
