In 2010, World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana celebrated its twenty-fifth anniversary.

For twenty years the Louisville Community known us as the Louisville International Cultural Center (LICC). In order to highlight our role in bringing high-quality international programming to our area and to emphasize our role as the local chapter of the World Affairs Councils of America, we have become the World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana!

As the World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana we continue to provide international visitor programs in conjunction with the U.S. Department of State and other governmental agencies, while increasing our level of service to the area through the speaker programs and educational activities for which World Affairs Councils are known throughout the nation.

World Affairs Council of Kentucky and Southern Indiana is a Member of NCIV - National Council for International Visitors and World Affairs Councils of f America.

As part of our 25th anniversary in 2010, WAC honored 25 emerging leaders (ages 40 and under) throughout Kentucky and S. Indiana who exhibited leadership, vision and interest in the area of international affairs. On December 9, 2010 WAC's Global Visionaries honorees took part in the Global Visionaries Summit, which included a chance to meet and reflect with top local leaders in the area of international affairs and business including former Kentucky Governor Martha Layne Collins. This unique opportunity was followed by a facilitated discussion in which the Global Visionaries produced findings relating to our international community which were presented to Mayor Greg Fischer.
