Highlights
Here at the Council, we are focused on making an impact in DFW: educating North Texans about global issues that matter, connecting local citizen diplomats with visiting emerging leaders, and inspiring civic engagement and life-long learning.
The numbers aren’t the full story, but they do help to communicate some of that measurable impact.
