As a member of the Los Angeles World Affairs Council, you can hear and meet leaders like Michel Camdessus, Managing Director of the International Monetary Fund. The Council presents more than 40 luncheon and dinner meetings each year. These programs are held at major hotels in the greater Los Angeles area. Private receptions are usually held in honor of the Council's guest speaker. These receptions enable eligible members to meet and be photographed with the guest speaker, along with directors of the Council and other community leaders.
Meetings feature an address by the guest speaker followed by a question and answer session.
Members receive invitations to each meeting and can order tickets by phone or e-mail at reduced rates. In addition, members receive the monthly World Affairs Journal , featuring highlights from the Speakers Program as well as prominent members. The World Affairs Annual , a compendium of speeches from the previous Speakers Program season, is sent to members as well. See the following table for different membership levels and corresponding membership benefits.
