The Alaska World Affairs
Council is a focused
educational organization
dedicated to stimulating
interest in world affairs
and inspiring its members to
be involved in world events.
The council was founded in
1958 by the late Evangeline
Atwood with the conviction
that better community
education in world affairs
is necessary for sound
democratic citizenship. The
Council does not take a
stand on current-day issues
but rather provides the
population a wide spectrum
of viewpoints and background
information through its
diverse range of programs
and activities.
The Alaska World Affairs
Council is a 501 (c) 3
non-profit, non-partisan
organization which is
membership-based and is one
of approximately 80 members
of the
World Affairs Councils of
America in Washington,
DC. Click here to view our

The Alaska World Affairs
Council is excited to
celebrate its 50th
anniversary in 2008. We are
planning a year full of
wonderful speakers giving
presentations on a variety
of topics focused on the
past 50 years. On Saturday,
September 27, 2008, the
Council will host a Gala
Dinner Dance featuring the
exciting speaker of the
previous Friday. This dance
will be an event like none
other in the history of the
Alaska World Affairs
Council. Help us to
celebrate 50 years of
bringing the world to
Alaska!
The Alaska World Affairs
Council works in
partnership with KSKA, KAKM,
and APRN. |
