This week we'll pause in our analysis of the UN ​Universal Declaration on ​Human Rights​.​ ​Today our special guest will be ​Norm Chouinard, a community banker and ASP member ​ from Connecticut. Some months ago,  Norm led an ​"Open Door​"​  panel on the banking and finance section of the ​ASP ​party platform, and he was very helpful. This ​week he'll be our "go to guy" onthe recent Vatican document on finance and social responsibility...right down to our next shopping trip. ​We'll also discuss the annual ASP National Committee election, which starts today.
