G.T. Humanists Meeting: Immigration Chaos
October 13 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
For our October meeting (10/13/25 at the Traverse Area District Library, 6 PM), Karen Segal will present a program on immigration in the U.S. Is a balanced discussion possible on this most controversial of topics? Karen hopes so. She will draw on her first-hand knowledge of the State Department and the immigrant experience to talk about the challenge facing America, including right here in Northern Michigan.
Karen Segal had a twenty-year career in the Department of State, first as an intelligence analyst of Soviet Affairs and then as a diplomat in Russia. She is a Council on Foreign Relations scholar and the author of several articles on U.S. arms control policy as well as the book, “U.S.-Israeli Strategic Cooperation in the post-Cold War Era” (Westview Press, 1992). Upon moving to Traverse City, she became Co-Chair and Director of NMC’s International Affairs Forum. Now, Karen leads a local team resettling families from Afghanistan and Ukraine.
