Montana World Affairs Council

The Montana World Affairs Council is a non-profit, non-partisan organization dedicated to fostering global awareness and understanding in Montana's classrooms and communities. Founded in 2000 by Ambassador Mark Johnson (ret.), the Council enables Montanans to appreciate the relationship of foreign policy and international issues to their lives in the Rockies. The Council offers opportunities to better understand world events through people-to-people diplomacy, distinguished speakers, and educational outreach programs. As globalization reaches into all corners of the Big Sky, the Council seeks to help educate citizens about their increased political, economic, and cultural integration into the world community.
