The World Affairs Council of Montana was founded in 2000 as a non-profit, non-partisan organization to foster global education.  The Council relies in part on the support of its members to fund our programs.  Thank you for your support!

The World Affairs Council helps you see over the “far horizon” and better understand world affairs. We bring you first-hand information by putting you in contact with local, national, and international leaders, entrepreneurs, activists, scholars, and officials. We focus on issues that are important to Montanans.
