Meetings and Programs
Worcester World Affairs Council (WWAC) meets once a month from September through May, with dates determined by the availability and schedules of our speakers.
During 2024-25, all meetings are in person with a hybrid format to permit remote attendance. Event times may vary and details will be announced on this site.
Meetings typically begin with social time at 6:00 pm and dinner at 6:30 pm for in-person attendees. Presentations by speakers begin between 7:30-8:00 pm with the program finished by 9 pm. If necessary, remote meetings may follow a different schedule.
The Council has hosted illustrious speakers in Worcester for more than 65 years. See this summary of recent WWAC speakers and topics.
In addition to its own meetings, WWAC members also can attend the annual national meeting of the World Affairs Councils of America in Washington, DC, and join the travel programs offered by other Councils .
