We cordially invite you to join with other World Affairs Council members, a diverse group that includes distinguished Bostonians from business, academic, professional, and cultural circles, who share your interest in global concerns. Your membership in this dynamic organization helps us bring the most authoritative international figures to Boston - and offers you the opportunity to meet with them, hear their views, and question them first hand. Council members are afforded the opportunity to hear from world leaders, diplomats, and other distinguished government officals, as well as prominent business figures, journalists, scholars, and other authorities, who provide stimulating and cogent commentary - and unique personal perspective on global matters. In this way, the Council programs seek to offer insight into important issues of international concern, prompt a robust exchange of views, and encourage involvement in the shaping of foreign policy.
Membership is available at various levels .
All members receive a monthly Calendar of Events, a discount on subscriptions to Foreign Policy magazine and the International Herald Tribune, and notification of special Council trips and social events. Designees are those persons who are designated by their corporation to receive admission to Council events. In view of the increasingly global nature of business, the Council offers corporate programs which focus on international issues related to business - and which give corporate members exclusive opportunities for personal contact and exchange with key government and business officials and international affairs experts. These include the monthly Executive Breakfast series exclusively for corporate members, featuring distinguished speakers and authoritative commentary on such issues as international trade, industry, manufacturing, and finance. The Special Luncheon Series , noon-time luncheon and lecture, is tailored for business leaders and others who are concerned about the impact of developments in the world on their personal and professional lives.
