Mission Statement:  Les Femmes du Monde was organized on June 14, 1961 by a group of 20 Dallas women who were concerned with all aspects of world conditions, especially those affecting our community and country.  We are a support group of volunteers whose Woman of The Year Award Dinner raises funds for the following two groups: Children’s Medical Center Dallas Child Life program and the World Affairs Council.  The CMC program provides psychological preparation for children undergoing cancer and other critical and invasive procedures.  The World Affairs Council has provided outstanding programs and speakers on some of the most important issues of our time.  Since 1950, the Council has brought North Texans face-to-face with key players on the international stage. Visit the web site at http://www.lesfemmesdumonde.org/

World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth:  Founded in 1951, the nonprofit and nonpartisan World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth offers the public and its more than 3,000 members opportunities to learn firsthand from world leaders, policymakers, ambassadors, journalists and world affairs experts.  It presents more than 100 speaker events and other diverse programs annually to enlighten and entertain North Texans.  In addition to impacting more than 100,000 students each year through its International Education Initiative, the Council coordinates visits to North Texas of delegations and leaders from around the globe through the administration of its International Visitor Program and the City of Dallas Office of Protocol.  For more information, please visit www.dfwworld.org.
