Message from the President
Welcome to the San Diego World Affairs Council. SDWAC is a globally-minded non-profit organization that has served the San Diego community for over half a century. Seeking to engage Americans of all ages and affiliations, we bring high quality speakers and programs to our city in order to educate San Diegans about foreign policy and international issues.
As our planet becomes increasingly complex and interdependent, SDWAC has become more critical than ever as a forum for the San Diego community. SDWAC is one of 90 independent organizations around the country that form part of the World Affairs Councils of America.
As we head into 2011-12, SDWAC and its North County Rancho Bernardo chapter will continue to bring to San Diego speakers from the spheres of government, academics, the private sector, and the non-profit/non-governmental sector to address important matters of the day. In addition to luncheons and dinners keynoted by opinion-makers, we will also host cultural dinners and social events for our members. Furthermore, we will continue to sponsor our regular ‘Great Decisions’ forum discussions where members participate and exchange ideas about critical foreign policy issues. Finally, SDWAC intends to expand its initiatives with a view to educating K-12 pupils in order to enhance young San Diegans’ global literacy.
I look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!
Kind Regards,
David Felsen, D.Phil.
