The Polish American Congress is a National Umbrella Organization representing at least 10 million Americans of Polish descent and origin. Its membership is comprised of fraternal, educational, veteran, religious, cultural, social, business, political organizations, and individual members.

The Polish American community prides itself on its deeply rooted commitment to the values of family, faith, democracy, hard work, and fulfillment of the American dream. We are present in every state and virtually every community in America on various social, business, and economic levels.

The Polish American Congress, an “umbrella” organization, is a federation of over 3000 Polish American organizations and clubs, ranging from national fraternal benefit societies, such as the Polish National Alliance, Polish Women’s Alliance, Polish Roman Catholic Union, Polish Falcons, and others, including veteran, cultural, professional, religious and social associations, with an aggregate membership of over one million. The PAC by-laws also provide for individual membership as well as associate membership.

The PAC promotes civic, educational, and cultural programs designed to further knowledge of Polish history, language, and culture and stimulate Polish American involvement and accomplishments.

The PAC's governing body is the Council of National Directors, consisting of directors elected by their respective State Divisions or National Organizations and up to 10 at-large directors elected by the Council. The Executive Committee, elected by the Council of National Directors for a two-year term, conducts day-to-day operations.

Much of the Council's work is delegated to Standing Committees: Polish Affairs, American Agenda, Public Affairs, Cultural Affairs, Anti-bigotry, Education Commission, Polish American Heritage Month Committee, Environmental Commission, and Youth Committee.
