World Affairs Council

Did You Know?

Hilton Head Island and the surrounding area has a wealth of organizations available to us that span a wide variety of interest areas including visual & performing arts, fitness & recreation, world affairs, education and history.  This “Did You Know” section of PD Life, will highlight one or two organizations each issue to provide a sense of their purpose and mission and how to contact them if you would like to find out more.

We are a vibrant community of thoughtful, global thinkers who are fascinated with international affairs. Our members include academics, diplomats, business executives, authors, government service personnel, and people from all walks of life. Most live in Hilton Head and surrounding Beaufort County, South Carolina. Our Council is open to all people and we invite you to join us and become a global thinker too!

Its mission: To educate, engage, and inspire our community regarding world affairs. 

WACHH provides a number of programs each year such as a Book Club and Discussion Groups. Its principle program, the Distinguished Speaker Series, attracts experts from around the globe who are known for their international experience in government, business, military affairs and academia.  These world class presentations take place on the first and third Fridays of each month at the First Presbyterian Church from October through May.  Please check the program calendar for exact dates and topics. Guests are invited to attend as well (see Guest Policy).
