The Council’s signature program features a reception or dinner with high-level national and international speakers on topics ranging from regional issues to globalization to foreign policy. Distinguished Speaker programs are held at various locations in our community from September to May.
The Distinguished Speaker Series is sponsored in part by a generous grant from the Norfolk Commission on the Arts and Humanities.

Great Decisions
Great Decisions is the oldest and largest grassroots educational program on foreign policy issues in the United States. The World Affairs Council conducts our annual Great Decisions program on Saturday mornings from January to March. The format includes a one-hour lecture, a fifteen-minute break, and concludes with a robust Q&A session. This program is run in coordination with the Foreign Policy Association (FPA), which developed the concept of a Great Decisions series of lectures in 1954.
The Great Decisions Series is funded in part through a generous grant from the City of Virginia Beach Arts and Humanities Commission.

WorldQuest is a fast-paced, exciting competition to test your international knowledge and promote understanding of our global neighbors. Participants compete in five categories: High school, College, College faculty, General and the Corporate Challenge, with prizes for the top three teams in each division. The first place high school team represents Hampton Roads at Academic WorldQuest competition in Washington, DC
