Portuguese-American Leadership Council of the United States
About Portuguese-American Leadership Council of the United States
Since its incorporation in 1991, the Portuguese-American Leadership Council of the United States has served as a vital bridge connecting Portuguese-American communities with national government and international partners. Based near Manassas, VA, this established 501(c)(3) organization was founded by forward-thinking Portuguese-American leaders committed to creating a unified community voice and maintaining meaningful dialogue between U.S. policymakers and the Portuguese government. PALCUS remains dedicated to advancing the Portuguese-American community professionally, politically, and culturally through comprehensive programming in government affairs, international relations, educational initiatives, language and cultural preservation, and community recognition. The organization's strength lies in its extensive network of government and community leaders who work collaboratively to address issues directly impacting Portuguese-Americans across the nation. With a commitment to non-partisan engagement and community-driven mission work, PALCUS has demonstrated resilience and growth, continuously expanding its programs to meet evolving community needs. The organization stands as a testament to the power of organized advocacy, fostering stronger connections between Portuguese-American communities and both U.S. and Portuguese governmental institutions while celebrating and promoting the cultural heritage and professional accomplishments of its constituency.
