Along with WorldQuest, the annual World Affairs Forum is one of JWAC's cardinal events each year. A topic of international importance and particular relevance is chosen by the board with input from the Membership, and much effort goes into assembling a panel of experts to gather in Juneau and discuss the issue with us over a two-day period. This event is an excellent opportunity for the people of Southeast to meet and interact with chief thinkers and policy makers.
