The 39th Camden Conference, Today's Middle East: Power, Politics & Players, takes place February 20 to 22 and features Vali Nasr, Professor of International Affairs and Middle East Studies at Johns Hopkins SAIS, as keynote and NPR's Meghna Chakrabarti (host of On Point) as moderator.
The Conference will examine how traditional and emerging powers are reshaping relationships and alliances across this strategically vital region—from changing dynamics between Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, to Israel's complex regional position, to the strategic interests of global powers like the United States, China, and Russia.
Join distinguished speakers and experts as they analyze the forces driving these regional dynamics.
The Conference will be taking place at the Camden Opera House in Camden and at two additional satellite venues: the Strand Theatre in Rockland and Lunt Auditorium in Falmouth. There is also the option of online viewing.

Retiring from a career is a significant emotional and psychological adjustment for many. Many courses and resources address topics such as financial planning for retirement, legal issues, and the physical transitions of aging. This course will focus instead on emotional well-being during your retirement transition and next chapter.
We will provide skills and resources for social-emotional development to soon-to-retire professionals, or those newly retired. Enhance resilience and transition-coping skills. Establish new social connections with other course participants.
This course is designed for individuals who are contemplating retirement or who are newly retired. (We will not cover planning the legal or financial aspects of retirement in this course; there are other places to work on those processes.)
This participatory program will be offered synchronously via Zoom—you’ll need access to a stable internet connection. Between classes, there will be reading and exploratory assignments (as well as time during sessions to work on your proposals). Breakout sessions with other participants and one-on-one time with the instructor are built into the program.
Instructor Pat McCabe, MS, MEd is a New Hampshire-based human resources partner with 24 years of experience asking future retirees: What are your plans for after you retire? With master’s degrees in Counseling and Higher Education Administration, she has been connecting people to resources at non-profit organizations and in higher education since shoulder pads and big hair were in fashion.
