"The World Affairs Council is not just a great educational resource, it allows us to make high level contacts that are very useful for operating in the global economy."

Networking
Over the years, the Council has developed an intricate, international network of contacts and resources here and abroad for our members’ use. We have access to diplomats, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), libraries and other sources that are available if you need assistance. We can also refer you to our database, which includes academics, world travelers, exporters, former Peace Corps volunteers, language experts and native-born citizens of a number of countries.
