About WORLD AFFAIRS COUNCIL OF THE MID-HUDSON VALLEY INC

The World Affairs Council of the Mid-Hudson Valley is a non-partisan forum for citizen participation in world affairs. Our mission is to raise public awareness of the issues that unite and divide nations, people, and major faith communities, and to stimulate interest in a better understanding of important world affairs. We encourage informed exploration of world issues and their relationship and connections to the Mid-Hudson Valley region. The Council offers information about our increasingly complex world through public lectures, panels and debates, and educational and cultural programs. The council also sponsors programs and collaborative efforts to reach high school and college students and teachers. Headquartered in Poughkeepsie, New York, the Council serves Dutchess, Ulster, and Orange Counties. The board and its membership are composed of individuals with an interest in public affairs and the role of the United States in the global community of nations. We are an all volunteer organization. Membership dues, sponsorships, and grants cover the costs of our programs and general operations. We became a member of the National World Affairs Councils of America in 2004. Currently, there are 94 World Affairs Council chapters throughout the United States with over 400,000 participants. The Council system is the largest international affairs nonprofit organization in the United States working to address the need for more global understanding in America.
