The Prince William Committee of 100 November 13, 2013 Program

The Prince William Committee of 100 presents forums for the public on timely topics.


These debates run the range of issues from government, health care, law enforcement, education, land use, transportation and many more. The forums are presented with a dinner invitation to allow guests time to network and meet other prominent citizens with similar interests in our community.

The program this month is of particular interest to anyone in PWC who has children of school age, is an educator or simply wants a better understanding of how achievement is currently measured in our schools.

This is the 25th year the Prince William Committee of 100 has provided quality speakers, knowledgeable moderators, and topics of interest. Please see the announcement below and make your reservation today!
