Columbia World Affairs Council

Overview

Founded in 1993, the Columbia World Affairs Council is a private, non-profit 501(c) 3 non-partisan organization in the Midlands region of South Carolina, located in the state capital.

We serve as the bridge between our local community and its global counterparts. In recent years, South Carolina has experienced rapid growth in international business, politics and culture. Devoted to promoting intercontinental awareness in South Carolina, the Columbia World Affairs Council exists not only for the state’s benefit, but also for its citizens by enhancing their opportunities to engage in projects that are beneficial to the international community.

Members might be invited to spend an evening with an ambassador, attend seminars on crucial topics presented by different nations, or even dine with foreign diplomats, dignitaries or international business executives.
