The World Affairs Council’s membership is made up of a diverse group of community members, teachers, students, business leaders, and government representatives from across the Puget Sound. The Council attracts members with varied interests and perspectives on global issues from a variety of different backgrounds and age groups due to its non-partisan nature.

The mission of the Council is to provide its members and the community at large with forums for discussion of critical world issues in order to help its members become internationally engaged citizens. Our goal is to offer programs that fit the needs and interests of our diverse constituents. We welcome you to join us and to support the Council through membership!
