Dear supporter,

2011 was an incredible year for

our Council, thanks to you!

We invested in our International

Visitors Program and saw great

dividends– not only were we able

bring more than $400,000 into the

state as a result of the program,

but more importantly, we hosted

30% more visitors in the state in

2011 than 2010, fostering cultural

connections that will last a life-

time and expanding our state’s

global competency.

We also offered new opportunities

for local students and teachers,

including the presentation of a

statewide Model UN Conference

that provided a forum for stu-

dents to address global concerns

in a real-world context.

And, despite the challenging eco-

nomic times, we were also able to

grow our income by 75% in 2011.

We received several new grants

that helped us begin creating a

three-year strategic plan for the

Council and spark discussion

around the most pressing global

issues of our time with our Head-

line Speaker Series. We hope you

enjoy reading more about the

year’s highlights inside our An-

nual Report.

Thank you for your continued

support and we look forward to

bringing the world to you again

this year!

With appreciation,

Anna H. Berry,

Executive Director

WACNH is a non-profit organization

with 501(c)(3) tax-exempt status.

Executive Director Anna Berry with Ann

Stock, Assistant Secretary of State for Edu-

cational and Cultural Affairs, at the Na-

tional Council for International Visitors

Conference in February 2011.

About the World Affairs

Council of New Hampshire

Our mission: “To promote the widest pos-

sible understanding of world affairs among

the citizens of New Hampshire”

The World Affairs Council of New Hamp-

shire is the state’s only non-profit, non-

partisan organization fostering learning,

discussion and citizen involvement in

world affairs by providing programs for the

public, hosting international visitors and

enriching global education in our schools.

Founded in 1954, the Council is also the

only Granite State member of the World

Affairs Councils of America and the Na-

tional Council for International Visitors.

The Council is an independent, non-profit,

educational organization located on the

campus of Southern New Hampshire Uni-

versity, our mission partner. This publica-

tion is funded, in part, by the Bureau of

Education and Cultural Affairs of the U.S.

Department of State under the authority of

the Fulbright-Hays act of 1961, as

amended.

A letter from the Director

Page 3: world affairs council Report 2 2011.pdf · John* & Carol Resch John & Carol Richards Linda & Sol Rockenmacher Roseann Ronnan Robert & Syliva Russell Leonard Sawyer David & Missie

Hundreds of people around the state deepened

their understanding of world affairs and discussed

pressing global issues at 25 public programs

2 Headline Speaker Series took the Granite State

beyond the headline with experts and dialogue on:

Primary Concerns: Critical foreign policy issues at the

2012 Ballot Box

After Iraq: Foreign Policy in the new Middle East

200 students and teachers learned about interna-

tional issues at weekly world affairs seminars and

the spring 2011 Plymouth Model UN conference

2 teachers traveled to Turkey and then developed

curriculum and public programs on the country and

region’s culture and history

2 special events sparked discussion on the future of

power with Joseph Nye and global business with

Myron Kandel

230 people from across NH supported the Council’s

work in global education as members

“During the visit and our meetings, we felt warm hospi-

great impressions about your country and the people we

It definitely rose understanding between the U.S. and

Estonian local and governmental management as well

as cultural and economical differences between two

countries.” ~ Krista Kull, Estonian visitor
