COVID-19 Update
Greetings and thank you for looking at our web page.
During this pandemic we have shifted all of our programming to a Zoom process. Instead of our traditional meeting format of getting together for lunches and dinners, we are going to be bringing outstanding speakers via Zoom. As soon as it is safe for us to meet in person, our traditional format will resume. Meanwhile, all members will receive notifications and reminders of how to Zoom into the presentations.
Thank you for your attention to this matter, and in behalf of the Board, I hope that all of us are staying safe.
With regards,
Tom Volgy
President, TCFR
Mission
The mission of the Tucson Committee on Foreign Relations (TCFR) is to promote understanding within the Tucson community of foreign policy and international relations issues and to provide a non-partisan forum for the discussion of those issues.
