The Council
The World Affairs Council of Oregon is a private, non-profit, non-partisan educational organization dedicated to broadening public understanding of international affairs.

The Council offers over 40 public programs each year with experts and world leaders speaking on a variety of international topics. We also annually host some 500 emerging leaders from around the world as well as entrepreneurs from Russia and the Newly Independent States who come to the U.S. to participate in professional exchanges and business training programs.

Other Council programs provide assistance to K-12 schools in their important work of teaching students about the world, and arrange educational travel tours for members to selected destinations abroad.
