The World Affairs Council of Western Michigan (WACWM), founded in 1949, empowers the people and organizations of West Michigan to engage thoughtfully with the world. WACWM does this with the help of regional businesses, colleges and universities, and many community partners. Together, we seek to provide programming that is credible, objective, relevant, civil, and compelling. To change the world, we believe, one must first know the world.
