Phoenix Committee on Foreign Relations
Meetings are specifically restricted to our membership, and our guests’ comments are off the record, in order to encourage free and frank discussion.
For five decades, PCFR has provided Arizonans with a unique window into the world.
As former PCFR President Susan Shultz reflects, "now more than ever, we really need to sustain and grow our foreign policy constituency, and elevate our commitment to integrity, and free trade, and collaboration with the rest of the world."
Our mission is more important than ever. Join PCFR for our 51st season: pcfraz.org/membership.
