Distinguished Lecturers Series

2012 Distinguished Lecturers Series

The Distinguished Lecturers Series, organized by the Friends of Crow Canyon advisory board, features presentations on wide-ranging subjects by distinguished scholars from around the country. Each presentation begins with wine and appetizers at 7:00 p.m., followed by the lecture at 7:30. Please see schedule below for venues.

The total cost of the three-event series is $85 per person or $150 for two subscriptions. Crow Canyon members at $100 and above receive a 10% discount on subscriptions or individual tickets. Tickets for a single presentation can be purchased for $30. Tickets are transferable between individuals, but not events, and will be available at the first lecture. Tickets can also be purchased by calling Bronwyn at 970.564.4396 (toll-free 800.422.8975, ext. 136), or e-mailing her at bstrickland@crowcanyon.org. You may also register online.
