About Us

The Charleston Foreign Affairs Forum was founded in the early 1980s and operated for 20 years under the name Foreign Affairs Forum. A reception precedes the speaker's presentation and a lively interchange between speaker and audience takes place afterward.

The Charleston Foreign Affairs Forum, a member of the World Affairs Councils of America, is made up of a diverse group of people, including numerous college professors, former ambassadors and officials of federal agencies, many of the financial and legal professionals in the area, political figures, retired military. Also among its members are a number of former, very senior Executives, some of whom are retirees from Fortune 500 companies. It is comprised of a broad cross section, roughly equal in terms of males and females and of Democrats and Republicans. Clearly, this is a membership of opinion leaders in the community and the surrounding resort communities, which have attracted new and vital people to our area
