CONSULAR ASSOCIATION RECEPTION
The Consular Association Reception (CAR) is an annual event hosted by the World Affairs Council of Tacoma to honor members of the Washington Consular Association -- individuals who serve their home country's interests and further global development across Washington. Hosted since 1988, this event celebrates the relationships that position Washington State as a leader in economic, trade and cultural exchange. The CAR honors the ties that bind us and the individuals dedicated to this work.
