Welcome to the 2024-2025 Program Year

Welcome! Just as the Arlington Committee of 100 fostered open, inclusive and vigorous discussion of issues involving all facets of community life in Arlington for the last 70 years, Advance Arlington continues that tradition - with a new name and logo to reflect our post-Covid determination to be as inclusive, forward-looking and welcoming as possible as we enter our eighth decade of service to Arlington.

Advance Arlington's educational forums remain open to all, and provide a non partisan setting where important, often controversial issues of local and regional interest are addressed by experts, with audience participation in lively Q&A sessions.

AI IS HERE: WHAT DOES IT MEAN FOR EDUCATION IN ARLINGTON?

Click Here to View the Recording

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly integrating into our daily lives, including one space we hold most sacred: our classrooms, the incubators of ideas for a better future. K-12 and higher education administrators and educators are currently incorporating some of the vast potential of AI to transform educational systems.

So, what does this all mean? Many educators are optimistic about the potential for AI to positively impact the future of education in our country and here in Arlington, while recognizing areas of concern that must be addressed such as: transparency, ethics and equity. Join our distinguished panel of experts for a deeper look at these topics.
