At the DCA, General Programs range from panel discussions on topical issues, to performances by talented entertainers. In the past we’ve had CIA agents tell their secrets, master classes by prominent musicians, and, most recently, discussions on the Nobel Peace Prize and the presidential election results.
Every year, DCA members are invited to several of these General Programs at no charge.
