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 is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3) organization.

Our meetings take place at The Citadel Alumni Center (officially known as The John Monroe J. Holliday Alumni Center) located at 69 Hagood Ave. across from Johnson Hagood Stadium, Charleston, SC
