Across the Pond: A Policy Update

What’s the meaning of life for the United Kingdom after “Brexit?”

On June 23, Britain held a referendum on whether to remain part of the 28-member European Union. The vote was 51.9 percent in favor of leaving. The exit from the EU will take a while, but the country’s leadership change was almost immediate.

What do the changes mean for Britain? What does this mean for relationships between that nation and ours? Specifically, how will the changes affect Georgia? According to the Georgia Department of Economic Development, Georgia is the fourth-largest exporter to Britain; Britain is the seventh-largest importer to Georgia.

Register here to find out answers to these questions and more at, “Across the Pond: A Policy Update,” a noon Policy Briefing Luncheon on Monday, August 22, at Cobb County’s Georgian Club. Hosted by the Georgia Public Policy Foundation, the keynote speaker for this event is Jeremy Pilmore-Bedford, the British Consul General in Atlanta since 2013.
This event is open to the public. Registration is $35 and includes lunch.
