The Olympia World Affairs Council's program year runs September through April. Speakers include professors, economists, diplomats, historians, scientists, non-profit organization leaders, business executives, and public officials.
In May we host the OWAC Spring Reception, which is centered around the presentation of the Global Connect Award.
In addition to our September-April regular schedule, we occasionally offer special programs, social gatherings with discussions of timely topics, and one-time summer programs.
