Based in Dallas, Texas, the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth serves as a regional platform for understanding international issues. It curates and presents more than 100 programs annually that examine how global affairs influence business, politics, culture, and foreign policy, drawing on voices considered authorities in their fields. Founded in 1951, the organization positions itself as a conduit to international perspectives for the North Texas community, and it extends its reach through an education initiative that brings global topics into local schools. Its audience comprises the general public and a members network numbering in the thousands, along with visitors and delegations drawn to North Texas through international visitor programs and city partnerships. A recent development is the announcement of a new president and CEO who will assume leadership in January 2026.
