Ways to Get Involved

The Baltimore Council on Foreign Affairs intends to expand our activities, and to resume our Educational Outreach Programs in the region. We also hope to expand our outreach to members of the Baltimore community, the Baltimore region and eventually all of Maryland. Volunteers to assist in this expansion process will be heartily welcomed. 

Members are entitled to attend all of the year’s programs and the receptions that precede them, free of charge.

Supporter Members are invited to at least three “Dutch Treat” Leadership Dinners with our guest speakers.

Non-members must pay a $25 entrance fee to attend, while non-members who are guests of members must pay $10 to attend.  While everyone is welcome to attend any particular event, we encourage those with an interest in foreign affairs to join the Council.  

Educational Conferences

We are now reviewing proposals to resume educational outreach. In the past, BCFA hosted three educational conferences throughout the academic year. One in the Fall was directed at secondary school Social Studies teachers; a winter conference was directed at secondary school students and a spring conference was directed at students and faculty of higher education institutions throughout Maryland. If you would like to help in the efforts for BCFA Educational Outreach Programs, please contact us.
