The World Affairs Council of Charlotte (WACC) was founded in 1983 as an outreach program of UNC Charlotte and its Office of International Programs. As a non-profit, non-partisan organization, it is supported by private funding from individual and corporate member dues and contributions.

    CORPORATE MEMBERSHIP

    Our corporate members also receive a number of benefits. Being a corporate member is a great way for internationally-minded companies to network, as well as to keep abreast of news and issues in regions of the world where they do business. Many times Council speakers and experts have paid private visits to our member companies to give briefings and updates on global issues to top executives, international trade divisions, and global risk analysts.
