“The Tennessee World Affairs Council is critically important to our State because it helps educate people about what is going on in the world. TNWAC highlights issues that are important to Tennessee and our whole country. We are all impacted by geopolitical events and economic issues in Ukraine/Russia, UK/Europe, China/Taiwan, Canada/Mexico, Central/South America, Asia, and\ Africa. Developing an understanding of these issues through TNWAC presentations and panel discussions allows for open dialogue and positive collaboration. We no longer live on an island.”
