The World Economy: To the Brink and Back 40th Annual Central
Illinois World Affairs Conference, March 26-27
Par-A-Dice Hotel Conference Center, East
Peoria
The world
has weathered severe challenges in the past two years as economies
worldwide slowed, credit tightened, and international trade
declined. The steps that have been taken, and those yet to be
taken, invite deeper discussion in this unique opportunity to learn
from some of the best national and international economic minds.

The Peoria Area
World Affairs Council
(PAWAC) is a non-profit, non-partisan organization open to all individuals. Since
its first conference in 1969, PAWAC has promoted a better understanding of world affairs among the people of Central Illinois by sponsoring public programs and fostering a cooperative educational approach to world problems.
PAWAC is affiliated with the World Affairs Councils of America and the Foreign Policy Association. PAWAC meets the first Thursday of each month for a business meeting followed by
an impromptu dinner.
Each fall, PAWAC hosts the International Affairs Scholastic Bowl in
Peoria, generously sponsored by CEFCU, and in collaboration with the
Peoria Journal Star. This annual event includes twenty-four high school teams from throughout the region and has become
one of our most effective efforts for educational outreach.
The Caterpillar Foundation serves as our primary benefactor. Sponsoring
institutions include Bradley University, Eureka College, Illinois
Central College, Illinois Wesleyan University, Knox College and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
We give special thanks to our corporate sponsors as well as Friends and Supporters of PAWAC. Annual dues are $35
for individual, $55 for family membership, and entitle the member(s) to program discounts.
