The World Affairs Council is governed by a 75-person Board of Trustees, composed of some of Orange County's top business, academic, government, and social leaders.
The Trustees in turn have designated an Executive Board to provide policy and operational direction for the Council's programs, membership, fund-raising and financial affairs, and educational activities. These efforts are supported by four standing committees, drawn from the Trustees and the Council's members.

Joe Koszarek was nominated by the Board of Trustees and elected by the general members as Chairman of the Board of Trustees and the Executive Board of the World Affairs Council of Orange County Chapter for 2006 - 2007. The primary function of the Board is to introduce Orange County to leaders of foreign countries and prominent national figures by facilitating dialogue between Orange County's political and business leaders and these influential individuals through regular monthly meetings, seminars, lectures and presentations. |
