The Distinguished Speakers Program – the centerpiece of Council activities – features major international and national leaders and distinguished authorities in the field of international affairs. It is designed to meet the needs of the Council’s several audiences, especially that of our attentive citizens.

The Educational Outreach Program presents three half-day conferences annually for three audiences: Maryland’s secondary school faculty, her secondary school students, and her college faculty and students.

The Council’s Cable Television Broadcasts covering Baltimore City, most of Maryland, and parts of southern Pennsylvania has a potential audience of 2.6 million households. Additionally, several programs annually are carried nationwide by C-SPAN.

The Videotape/DVD Library makes transcripts and tapes of the Council's programs available to members, schools, and the general public.

The Travel Program allows members to participate in the large number of study tours sponsored by sister councils in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles.

The Corporate Services Program allows corporate and organizational members to meet with Council speakers at small Leadership Dinners, and ensures programming on International Economic Policy.
