Joint WorldQuest / Academic WorldQuest 2026 (In Memory of Pierre Lipton)

On November 12, the World Affairs Council of Charlotte will gather at the Hilton Charlotte Uptown for a joint evening of Academic WorldQuest and WorldQuest as high school students and adult teams play side by side, testing what they know about the world. This year's competition is held in memory of Pierre Lipton, who lived that very arc: first as an Academic WorldQuest competitor for Myers Park High School, and later as a WorldQuest player with the Charlottans.

September 10th, 2026: WACC National Security Series with Chris Inglis, Former Deputy Director of the National Security Agency and the First National Cyber Director

Chris Inglis doesn't just understand America's cyber threats; he helped build the architecture to defend against them. Inglis served as Deputy Director of the National Security Agency under both the George W. Bush and Obama administrations, spending decades across the NSA and Department of Defense before becoming the nation's first-ever National Cyber Director, a role created by Congress in 2021 to unify a fragmented federal cyber defense landscape. He was unanimously confirmed by the Senate, reflecting the breadth of trust he commanded across party lines. Join the World Affairs Council of Charlotte on Thursday, September 10, 2026, for a lunch conversation with one of the most consequential figures in American cybersecurity, who will offer thought-provoking insights on the threats that defined his career and the challenges that define America's future.
