We have offered great opportunities twice a year to share "Best Practices": at Leadership Day workshops at the National Conference and at Spring Leadership Meetings held around the country. We would like to make the WACA national network's wealth of knowledge available year-round.

WACA logo square small The World Affairs Councils of America's National Office will host informative teleconferences every month so that Council peers can discuss Best Practices to make our programs more impactful and our organizations more effective.

We have planned three teleconferences through the end of 2014. We also encourage you to suggest ideas for future Best Practices conference calls to shape our 2015 agenda.

Special thanks to WACA National Board Vice-Chair Dixie Anderson and the World Affairs Council of Western Michigan for taking the lead on this initiative.
