Burke to Buckley Program
Want to learn about conservative principles? The goals of the Burke to Buckley program are to impart a deeper understanding of the foundations of conservative thought and to build a network of talented, like-minded individuals. Each year, the National Review Institute is joined online and in key metropolitan areas, including Philadelphia, by people seeking to learn more about conservative principles. The ideal candidate is a mid-career professional (ages 35 to 50, typically) who works outside the realm of politics and public policy. Apply to the program by Dec. 15 at nrinstitute.org.
