The Council sponsors several major speaker’s forums per year, from large public forums featuring international and national leaders to informal briefings and debates on current foreign policy issues. In addition to lectures for its membership and the local community, the Council offers special programs for young professional and corporate sponsors as well as area high school and university students. Events sponsored by the Council include discussions with ambassadors, government officials, journalists, and experts in the field of foreign affairs.
LECTURE SERIES 25-26
LECTURE SERIES 25-26
The Southeast Michigan World Affairs Council hosts high-profile foreign affairs lectures covering current international issues ranging from foreign intelligence to peace negotiations to immigration and trade.
These lectures are held at Oakland University or in a public auditorium, and each lecture is followed by a wine and light-bites reception with the speaker for SWAC members. We hope that members will take advantage of such opportunities to speak face-to-face with those working directly in the field of international affairs.
