International Council
The International Council is a prestigious circle of visionary leaders from around the world who care about cultural heritage.
Discover our International Council
International Council members play a key role at World Monuments Fund, working directly with WMF’s leadership to chart our global strategy and maximize our impact through identifying projects of international stature, fundraising, and sharing with their networks the importance of preserving humanity’s irreplaceable cultural heritage.
You have the option to choose a local chapter where you can become more intimately involved—WMF has chapters in New York, the Arab Countries, Asia, France, India, Peru, Portugal, Spain, and the United Kingdom. Council members have access to all chapters’ activities and membership networks when traveling. Council members also have access to private, behind-the-scenes tours of WMF sites around the world while traveling independently. These visits may be scheduled to fit with your personal travel plans. Learn more about our Travel Program.
We invite you to join us. For more information, please contact Brian Keliher at bkeliher@wmf.org or +1 332 345-7348.
