Lectures

The Institute's annual lecture series offers the opportunity to learn from and engage in discussion with faculty associates working on current issues in land and tax policy. The lecture series is presented at Lincoln House. See below for information about specific dates, speakers and lecture topics. The programs are free, but pre-registration is required.

Two special lectures are an integral part of the series, and each is offered every other year in June. The Founder's Day Lecture honors John Cromwell Lincoln, the Cleveland industrialist who founded the Lincoln Foundation in 1947. Mr. Lincoln drew inspiration from the ideas of Henry George, the nineteenth-century, American political economist and social philosopher. George proposed the use of a single tax on land, the land value tax, as a solution to public financing and other problems facing society during his lifetime. The David R. Fullmer Lecture was created in 1993 to honor David R. Fullmer of Cleveland, the former General Counsel and Secretary of the Lincoln Institute of Land Policy.
