Organizational History

The The Colorado Foothills World Affairs Council is a non-profit organization that promotes education and an understanding of international affairs, especially regarding the impact of foreign events, trends and policies on our country and on our lives.  Founded as the Foothills International Study Group, in the fall of 1987, the organization soon evolved into The Foothills International Forum.   In May, 2007, after the Forum affiliated with the World Affairs Councils of America the name was changed to The Colorado Foothills World Affairs Council.  The organization has grown from a handful of members in the beginning to today's membership of several hundred.
