3. Welcome to WorldAffairs 2011,
the annual community event devoted to
international issues presented by the
World Affairs Council.
This year we will take a deep dive into the multiple challenges and
changing dynamics confronting the United States as a global power.
In the wake of the economic crisis, the political landscape is also
shifting. Traditional allies are on unsteady ground, while some emerging
powers are roaring forward. The riveting revolutions in North Africa
and the Middle East have captured our attention, and expert analysis
is only barely keeping pace with events. At the same time regional
crises continue to undermine security in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Africa,
the Korean Peninsula and our own southern border. Tying all this
together are shared global concerns around security, stability and the
management of resources including our physical environment. It is a
formidable picture.
Over the course of our time together, we will engage with one another
to discuss and debate the issues facing our country, our community and
each of us as citizens. It is our deepest belief that informed citizens can
make a difference. In fact, the responsibilities of democracy obligate
us to do so. In this spirit, we are proud to host at WorldAffairs 2011 a
diverse group of thought leaders, entrepreneurs, policy makers, business
executives and students to discuss the most pressing international issues
of our day. These conversations today can shape the world of tomorrow.
We are grateful to our trustees, donors and members who are
dedicated to exploring critical international issues and who ensure the
depth and engagement that are the hallmarks of WorldAffairs 2011. We
also thank those local corporations whose generous support make this
event possible. And, we thank you for your commitment to knowledge
and to community.
We hope each of you will, together with us, learn, engage and celebrate
the knowledge, ideas and experience that weave us together as a global
community.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Robertson Jane Wales
Chairman of the Board President & CEO

4. Challenges to American Power
Throughout the sessions we will explore three key questions:
What US policies will best serve the multiple demands presented by
myriad regional security challenges?
Who are the key players in the new global economy and how can the
US remain among the leaders?
What is the best formula and what resources will provide the US with a
secure, sustainable and clean energy future?

25. Education Program
Students at WorldAffairs 2010, photographer Julie Brookman
Inspiring our youth to be the global citizens and international leaders of
tomorrow is critical to our mission. For the past 40 years, our Education Program
has engaged the younger generation in the most critical global issues by providing
opportunities to meet with international experts, participate in in-depth
institutes, attend our WorldAffairs conference and to study abroad through our
scholarship program.
The Education Program focuses on building global awareness and promoting
critical thinking, communication, leadership and civic engagement. In 2007, we
founded the Youth Outreach Initiative to extend this program to urban high
schools and students in economically disadvantaged 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.
Forty-five students and teachers have received scholarships to attend
WorldAffairs 2011. They are part of a long tradition of student and educator
participation. Many have gone on to careers with an international focus.

29. In Memorium
Richard N. Goldman
Richard N. Goldman, philanthropist and founder of the world-renowned
Goldman Environmental Prize, passed away on November 29, 2010.
Mr. Goldman served multiple terms on the Council’s Board of Trustees
between 1957-2009. He served on the Council’s Executive Committee,
most recently as vice chairman between 1999-2009. Mr. Goldman was
also a member of the Global Philanthropy Forum’s Advisory Council.
Mr. Goldman and his late wife, Rhoda, were honored at the Council’s
1992 Annual Dinner. He was recently described by the Council’s CEO
Jane Wales as “a leader with passion, wisdom and heart. Richard
Goldman was deeply committed to community and to a better future
for all. He defined his neighborhood broadly to include the global
commons. As a result, we are all the grateful beneficiaries of his work.”
Sherman J. Maisel
Sherman J. Maisel, former governor of the Federal Reserve and
professor emeritus of the Haas School of Business at University of
California, Berkeley, passed away on September 29, 2010. Mr. Maisel
served on the Council’s Board of Trustees between 1980-1999. He
served on the Council’s Executive Committee as treasurer between
1985-1987 and as assistant treasurer between 1983-1985.
Mr. Maisel was a long-time member of the Council and a regular
participant in our programs, alongside his wife, Lucy. In the words of
Jane Wales, “Sherman was a quintessential Council member whose
experience spanned the sectors, and whose intellectual depth was
matched by endless curiosity.”
Walter H. Shorenstein
Walter H. Shorenstein, philanthropist and San Francisco business leader,
passed away on June 24, 2010. Mr. Shorenstein’s association with the
Council began when he joined as a member over 25 years ago. Mr.

over the years of the Council’s awards dinners and corporate
membership program.
Mr. Shorenstein served on the Global Philanthropy Forum’s Advisory
Council. “A philanthropic force, Walter Shorenstein founded major
academic centers at Stanford and Harvard, thus leaving his mark among
scholars, students and the general public, all beneficiaries of his vision,”
observed Jane Wales.
