INNOVATIONOur theme this year is innovation. There are few times in history when the need to draw upon our capacity to invent and to marshal creative change has been more pressing or more apparent. At a time of world-wide economic recession, we are faced with the problems of global climate change; a devastating natural disaster in Haiti; insurgencies in Afghanistan and Iraq; civil conflict in Sudan, Congo and elsewhere where governance is weak and leaders are predatory. While at times it seems that our political system fails to address dangers until they are transformed into crises, it is our capacity as a society to invent and to rally that reassures and serves us in the end.

Not only do we need innovative, actionable, community-based approaches for meeting national and international challenges, but each of us can help provide them. It is in this spirit that we are proud to host at WorldAffairs 2010 a diverse gathering of civic leaders, entrepreneurs, policymakers, business executives, analysts and students to discuss the most pressing international issues of our day. We hope that you will be among those enriching the quality of the discussion. Our conversations today can shape the world of tomorrow.

We extend our gratitude to our trustees, donors and members whose on-going commitment to exploring critical international issues provides the depth and engagement that are the hallmarks of WorldAffairs 2010. We also thank those local corporations whose generous support makes this event possible.

We hope each of you will, together with us, learn, engage and celebrate the richness and diversity of knowledge, ideas and experience that create a strong global community.

Sincerely yours,

I. Development: Responding to the World Food CrisisAn estimated one billion people worldwide are unable to access enough food to avoid malnutrition. The dramatic rise and volatility of food prices have contributed to the increase in global food insecurity, particularly among the poor in developing nations. The need for prompt action is clear ; is it possible to respond to the immediate needs of the hungry while also preventing future crises?

J. Economy: Reflections on the Global Financial CrisisThe collapse of US investment banks in September 2008 is widely considered to have sparked the global recession. While it is easy to understand the far reaching shockwave that resulted, it is more difficult to determine how the global financial crisis unfolded. How have deficits, increased spending and the credit crunch affected governments? Most important of all, what lessons have been learned?

Schools Program

Inspiring our youth to be the global citizens and international leaders of tomorrow is critical to our mission. For the past 39 years, our Schools Program has engaged the younger generation in the most critical global issues by providing opportuni-ties to meet with international experts, participate in in-depth institutes, attend our WorldAffairs conference and to study abroad through our scholarship program. The Schools Program focuses on building global awareness and promoting critical thinking, communication, leadership and civic engagement.

In 2007, we founded the Youth Outreach Initiative, a program that extends this powerful program to urban high schools and students in economically disadvan-taged neighborhoods in the Bay Area. Since launching this project, we have served over 900 students in San Francisco and Oakland schools. The program is flourishing from one year to the next, and this year we will continue to expand our reach into more high schools around the Bay Area.

Fifty students and teachers have received scholarships to attend WorldAffairs 2010. They are part of a long tradition of student and educator participation. Many have gone on to careers with an international focus.

In Memorium

Joanna R. Ballou passed away on January 22, 2010. Mrs. Ballou had served as trustee of the World Affairs Council of Northern California and was a dedicated community and civic leader in San Francisco.

Mrs. Ballou served multiple terms on the Council’s Board between 1972-2008. She and her late husband, former World Affairs Council Chairman George Ballou, were involved with the Council since the late 1950s. As a trustee, Mrs. Ballou served on the Development Committee where she tirelessly raised funds and hosted events for the Council, and on the Nominations & Elections Committee, where she recruited talented leaders to the Council’s Board. She created a volunteer special events committee which for years implemented most of the Council’s social activities, such as the Consular Corps and annual conference receptions. Mrs. Ballou loved to attend the Council’s annual conference, often with her daughter Ruthie Conway, and was a great supporter of the conference’s scholarship program for students and teachers. The endowed scholarship in George Ballou’s honor has brought more than 30 students and teachers to the conference. She and Mr. Ballou were honored at the Council’s 45th Anniversary Gala in 1992.

In 1986, Mrs. Ballou was described in the Nob Hill Gazette as “one of San Francisco’s busiest private citizen diplomats.” Jane Wales, President and CEO of the World Affairs Council, recently noted that “Joanna helped lead the Council throughout her service as a trustee, expanding and deepening the community it served. She brought humor, wit and joy to all she did.”

We are grateful to the following individuals for their contributions in memory of Joanna to the George and Joanna Ballou Memorial Scholarship Fund through February 18, 2010: Louis de K. BeldenJ. Dennis BonneyRoy E. Brakeman, Jr.Caroline K. BrownstoneJoan DanforthMeg Franklin

Committee for the Future

A LASTING LEGACYEnsuring the Future of the World Affairs Council of Northern California

For more than six decades the World Affairs Council has been the preeminent organization in Northern California dedicated to informing, engaging and connecting a community of global citizens with the most critical global issues of our day. Today more than ever, the landscape of pressing political, economic and social challenges we face at home and abroad demands international understanding and cooperation. The work we do at the Council changes lives.

It is through the renewed and lasting commitment in the form of bequests, charitable gift annuities and other life-income gifts that the future success and vitality of the Council is ensured.

Committee for the FutureWorld Affairs Council of Northern [email protected]/PlannedGiving

“One thing we know for certain is that the world will continue to become interdependent. The World Affairs Council of Northern California will be more important to our citizens as a source of knowledge and understanding of global events and relationships. Today, WorldAffairs 2010 is providing you with some of that knowledge. The Council must be preserved for future generations so that they have access to it tomorrow.”

- George B. James, II Chairman, Board of Trustees (2004-2009)

Our Community

Community forms the heart of everything we do at the Council. It is in community that we learn, connecting diverse sectors of society for a broader understanding of the global challenges facing each nation, organization and individual. And it is through an engaged community that local solutions to global problems can be brought to life.

To this end, we are deeply grateful to our community, a community that continues to grow and thrive with each passing year. We thank our members, our trustees and our corporate members. We thank our sponsors. And we thank our community. Without the support of each of you, this event would not be possible.
