The World Affairs Council

WHAT DOES THE COUNCIL DO?

The Council is the Tri-state's bridge to the world and to an understanding of contemporary international issues. For over 80 years, this non-profit, non-partisan, non-governmental organization has worked to broaden the knowledge and skills of local residents about international issues. 

The Council brings notable experts in international affairs and global issues to Cincinnati to meet with educators, students, business people and the community.

Our Individual Member Meetings, Luncheons, briefings and Annual World Affairs Conference give members the opportunity to interact with distinguished guests from all over the world as well as with local residents equally committed to better understanding global concerns.

In addition, the Council supports and strengthens education at the high school and university level with programs and activities specially designed to help students prepare for an increasingly interdependent world. 

The World Affairs Council of Greater Cincinnati is a member of the World Affairs Councils of America, a network of Councils covering 41 States and 125 cities. We are the largest International Affairs Non-profit in the U.S.
