Council members are a diverse group but all share a common interest in the international issues facing our region and our nation.  Join us and engage with others of shared interest, with international leaders, and with our region’s current and future leaders.

Membership is also a great value!  Among the many benefits all members receive, the following are just a few highlights:

• Special invitations to “members only” events
• Publication discounts
• Discounts to all Council events
• And, of course, the opportunity to participate in informed, nonpartisan dialogue with regional, national, and international leaders and international relations experts.
