Knowledgeable professionals from across the world address geopolitical, economic, educational and national security issues as well as the accelerating impact of technology on our way of life. 

Our October 20th Season Kickoff event headlined Reva Goujon, VP of Global Strategy for leading global strategic consulting firm Stratfor. Reva, a member of the Council on Foreign Relations and a respected voice on international affairs, sets the stage for our season with her engaging perspective on “America’s Future in a Changing World.” This event sold out!
 
Other programs address America’s growing threats from technology that threaten our democracy from within and a sobering look at the dangers we face from lack of global military preparedness that can impact America’s position in the world. All of this and much more coming to you only from your World Affairs Council of the Desert.
