The purpose of the American Polish Advisory Council (APAC) is to develop a stronger and clearer voice for Polish Americans in public affairs. Consisting of a national network of individuals dedicated to contributing their knowledge and experience to the healthy development of the community and improving the public's perception of Polonia, APAC is designed to work cooperatively with existing Polish American organizations. APAC consists of two groups: Founding Members and Advisors, who provide their knowledge and expertise on a range of topics to the Founding Members.

APAC is guided by three major goals:

• Increase the number, visibility and influence of Polish Americans in public affairs.
