At its October 13 meeting, the City Council approved a $60,000 contract with the World Affairs Council of Dallas/Fort Worth (WAC) for the following services:
 
  • International Promotion and Business Development
  • Entrepreneur Development
  • Provide Addison with opportunities to participate in international events

Over the last few years, the Town of Addison has maintained a formal agreement with WAC. Under earlier agreements, WAC provided support to the Town to enhance its efforts with World Fest. In Fiscal Year 2015, the focus of WAC's efforts evolved to provide support in enhancing the Town's international business development efforts. Mayor Joe Chow, Mayor Pro Tempore Lori Ward, and Council Member Ivan Hughes serve as the Council Liaisons to WAC. The total annual funding amount was approved in the FY 2021 Budget as part of the Economic Development & Tourism Department annual budget paid out of the Hotel Fund.
