The Council of World Affairs provides individuals and

international economic, political, cultural and travel issues along
with opportunities to develop new business abroad through cultural
exchange that creates better personal contacts. It offers globally minded citizens an opportunity
to hear from international experts and high level dignitaries about
their perspective of major world issues and also to enlighten members on the cultures of their
nations. It comes at a time when U.S. foreign policy around the world
is changing, making it increasingly important to understand the
decision making process in global affairs and
how decisions made around the world impact us locally.

Councils already exist in Florida in Jacksonville, Palm Beach and
Naples, all of which have been in existence for several years. Their websites can be accessed through

opportunity to meet and listen to discussions on important world
issues from visiting
dignitaries, governmental officials, academic and scientific experts, business
leaders and recognized journalists invited to address members on
important political, economic, cultural or travel related
subjects.
