The World Affairs Council of Kentucky & Southern Indiana (WAC) is a non-profit member-based organization based in Louisville, Kentucky, whose mission is to "promote cross-cultural awareness, education and tolerance through nonpartisan discussions on current international issues".[1] The Council is a member of the World Affairs Councils of America and Global Ties U.S. Network.[2][3]

For twenty years the organization was known as the Louisville International Cultural Center (LICC). In order to "highlight [their] role in bringing high-quality international programming to [the] area and to emphasize [its] role as the local chapter of the World Affairs Councils of America," the organization became the World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana in 2004.[4]

The Muhammad Ali Center has partnered with the World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana since 2006.[5] Similarly, the University of Kentucky Patterson School of Diplomacy and International Commerce maintains a close relationship with the World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana.[6]
