More about the “Daily Chatter”

Membership with the World Affairs Council is …

  • A platform – The Council offers frequent opportunities to participate in forums, workshops, receptions, and discussions to engage in debate and dialogue.
  • An education – Members of the World Affairs Council participate in in-depth discussions—not lectures—on timely global topics with local relevance.
  • A network – Membership facilitates relationships and meaningful connections between people with diverse backgrounds and a common belief in the value of informed global citizenship.
  • A statement – By becoming a member of the World Affairs Council, you’re making a statement that you support our efforts to reach students, to engage the community on global issues, and build greater Seattle’s reputation as globally relevant and globally aware. Membership reinforces the values of responsible global citizenship.

Membership supports each of the Council’s core focus areas: in-depth community programs; and the global education outreach program that provides resources to teachers and students.

TNWAC is a 501(c)(3) organization. Because the benefits of membership are “intangible”, we believe the membership fee is a tax-deductible contribution. However, it is always best to consult your tax advisor to determine the deductibility of membership.
