Hudson Institute's New York Briefing Council

Hudson Institute’s New York Briefing Council, founded in 2004, provides perhaps the most select regularly scheduled public policy discussion series of its type. A subscription-only series hosted by Hudson President Herbert London, the prolific author and former television commentator, the series features such distinguished guests as former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger, Israeli Deputy Prime Minister Natan Sharansky, and former U.S. Permanent Representatives to the U.N. Richard Holbrooke and John Bolton for intimate discussions of critical policy issues. Audience members typically include leaders of New York’s cultural, financial, and philanthropic communities who benefit from the exclusive and off-the-record character of the lunches.

For membership inquiries, please call 212-476-8064 or email info@hudsonbriefingseries.org.
