“Since joining the World Affairs Council, I have developed a broader understanding of global issues, cultures, and perspectives. The Council is one of the few organizations in this city that brings the world and its issues right to you. I met one of my mentors through WAC, among others; it is a great organization for any young professional looking to get plugged into Jacksonville and beyond.”
“We have witnessed firsthand the transformative impact the World Affairs Council has had on our community by promoting life-long learning and inspiring students to be the next generation of global leaders. The intellectual fabric of our community is stronger because of the Council’s educational work, and we are steadfast supporters of the Great Decisions Program.”
“It is an honor to serve on the board and work with passionate leaders that challenge the status quo to drive change and make a positive impact in our communities.”
