The Tennessee World Affairs Council (TNWAC) serves as a convener of discussions and programs on international affairs, international business, multiculturalism, and international education. We focus on informing and inspiring individuals to understand the world. As a regional leader for education on international affairs, TNWAC promotes lifelong learning through creative programming and dedicated community service. Our organization is a vital networking forum for business leaders, academics, students, and multicultural communities in Tennessee. We believe that global insights and a broad perspective are essential for competing effectively in an interconnected world and for responsible citizenship in an increasingly interdependent global economy. Understanding these dynamics is crucial for comprehending their impact on the U.S. economy, foreign policies, and national security.
