Bringing the World to Vermont
"I am proud to represent a state whose citizens have
a strong interest in foreign affairs. From human rights to the environment to the international business climate, it is critical
that Vermonters educate themselves on global issues they care about - and the Vermont Council for World Affairs offers resources
to help them,"
~ Senator Patrick Leahy
Become a citizen diplomat!
In our global age, world affairs councils play an increasingly important role as vehicles for citizen participation and discussion on topics as varied as the environment, education, technology, health, and world trade.
"The need to engage our citizens in the issues affecting
the environment, economics, education, trade and diplomacy is more pressing than ever. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is proud to
support the mission of the Vermont Council on World Affairs,"
~ Claudia H. Lovell, International Sales Manager, Green Mountain CoffeeRoasters
"Belonging to the Vermont Council on World Affairs helps
me be part of international affairs in Vermont and has helped me stay abreast of important worldwide issues that are not normally
found in mainstream news,"
~ Linda Aines, international consultant and professor emeritus of University of Vermont
"The time has never been better for Vermonters to take advantage of the programs and expertise of the Vermont Council
for World Affairs to help them understand and navigate the political and economic forces of the world,"
~ Governor Jim Douglas
