Our Work
The World Affairs Council of Tacoma is a non-profit, non-partisan organization whose mission is to promote public understanding of world affairs and to enhance the ability of its members to engage in a global community. We feature guest speakers such as diplomats, academics, business professionals, and journalists. Speakers provide the opportunity for participants to engage in meaningful discussions about world affairs.
