The World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth is an ambitious community of learners, leaders, and thinkers. Together, we engage with authoritative voices to understand global issues that touch local lives and create connections around the world. The Council presents over 100 programs annually, primarily focusing on the international aspects of business, politics, culture and foreign policy. The Council has been educating metroplex citizens on global affairs since 1951. Today, it serves as a gateway to the world for the region, offering an impressive range of programs and events for the public and its more than 4,000 members. The Council takes education directly into North Texas schools through its International Education Initiative. Additionally, it coordinates visits to North Texas of delegations and leaders from around the world through the International Visitor Program and the City of Dallas Office of Protocol.
