NEW RELEASE

Brains Trust is an audio visual presentation by scholars and experts .

It is a confederacy of thinkers who use knowledge to build bridges.

This initiative is inspired by President F D Roosevelt.

In 1932, FDR created a forum of scholars who reflected on matters of national and global importance shorn of political bias and rhetoric and rooted in facts and knowledege. A New York Times reporter picked up this development and called the group FDR's Brains Trust.

The presentations are curated and recorded. The material is shared on our You Tube site to make it accessible to a wider audience.

The program is slated for an eight city tour where five experts from the Brains Trust cohort will be presenting their ideas on pre determined subjects of interest, to an invited audience.

We are independent & non partisan publishers. This program is dedicated to our citizens who are interested in issues of significance presented by experts with scholarship. We do not take any institutional positions on matters of policy.
