Pakistani American Congress

Pakistani American Congress (PAC) is a comprehensive umbrella organization serving Pakistani Associations of North America, based in Paramus, NJ. Since its establishment in 1990, PAC has functioned as a catalyst for social, educational, and political activities that advance the interests of the Pakistani-American community throughout the United States. Operating as a non-partisan and non-religious entity, PAC coordinates a network of affiliated organizations and individual members who share a commitment to community engagement and advocacy.

PAC's core services include organizing and facilitating social and cultural events, managing educational initiatives, and coordinating political activities that protect the civil rights and liberties of Pakistani Americans. The organization maintains an active membership program open to both Pakistani Americans and Americans who consider themselves friends of Pakistan, with members receiving equal rights and participation opportunities. PAC regularly hosts major events, including the annual US-Pakistan Friendship Day celebration at Capitol Hill, demonstrating its role in fostering international goodwill between the United States and Pakistan. The organization is governed by a Board of Trustees and Executive Committee dedicated to serving the community's diverse needs and representing its collective interests at local, state, and national levels.
