World Affairs Discussions (WAD) are usually held the fourth week of each month except July, August and December.  These events provide a forum for members and guests to hear an overview of a timely topic of interest and then participate in moderated table discussions of the pros and cons and/or possible solutions of issues that are identified in the presentation.  A meal function is included and social networking time is included in the schedule.

Alexa Schirtzinger is a staff writer with the Santa Fe Reporter. She has lived and worked in Spain, Uruguay, Honduras and El Salvador, where she spent two years as an agroforestry volunteer with the Peace Corps (2003-05). She has a B.A. in Environmental Geology and Spanish from Dartmouth College and an M.S. in Journalism from Columbia University. She has traveled extensively in every country in Central America except Belize and been lost in more small villages than she’d like to admit.
