The World Affairs Council of Sonoma County The World Affairs Council of Sonoma County (WACSC) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization whose purpose is to promote study and public education in world affairs and to contribute to improved international understanding and relations. We feature speakers such as Ambassadors, international figures, journalists, academics, and business professionals.
Council programs provide participants the opportunity to meet and ask questions of people who shape world events in a variety of formats. Regular programs are sponsored by the Council and are open both to members and the general public.

We would like to express our great appreciation to the many members who made philanthropic contributions to the WACSC in the past year. We highlight our Sustaining and Corporate-level members in each issue of Perspectives and would like to emphasize again how much their gifts impact the success of our organization. In addition to these members, we want to recognize donors who sent the WACSC additional contributions over the past 12 months. All told, the generosity of our donors resulted in more than $3,800 in additional funds that we are using to support our mission to promote study and public education in world affairs and to contribute to improved international understanding and relations.
