Camden Conference Discussion Series At the Blue Hill Public Library

Blue Hill, Maine - Blue Hill Public Library will be holding a four session series, in connection with the 26th annual Camden Conference (February 22nd to 24th in Camden), The Middle East- What Next?” The BHPL sessions will take place Tuesdays, February 5th, 12th, 19th and March 5th, 1:00 to 3:00 PM at the Library. This four-session series is designed to help participants achieve optimal benefit from participation in the Camden Conference.

In the first three sessions, participants will collectively define the concept of “Middle East” and develop and articulate a common vision of a stable and viable Middle East. In the fourth, post-conference session on March 5th, participants will compare conference findings with those of the participants in this series.

The sessions will be moderated by Bob Sargent, a former U.S. diplomat whose overseas assignments included Belgium, Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Tunisia, Turkey and Vietnam. Mr. Sargent is a former member of the Camden Conference Board of Directors and Advisory Board and a three-time conference program chair.

The Camden Conference was founded in 1987 as a nonprofit, non-partisan educational organization whose mission is to foster informed discourse on world issues. In the years since, it has convened its annual Conference on the third weekend of February in the historic Camden Opera House, drawing some of the best minds on foreign policy to share their insights and expertise on a range of global issues with the community.
