Asian/Pacific American Council of Georgia, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Georgia in 1985 as a 501 (C) (3) non-profit, non-partisan social organization. It serves as the umbrella organization of various Asian/Pacific organizations in Georgia. APAC was organized for the purpose of promoting full participation of Asian/Pacific Americans in the American society while at the same time maintaining their Asian/Pacific cultural heritage; facilitating cultural and religious practices of Asian/Pacific Americans; encouraging and promoting the participation of Asian/Pacific American cultural education; and promoting respect for the ideals envisioned in the Constitution of the United States.

This is a keynote year for APAC as it celebrates its 20th year of service to the Georgia Asian/Pacific community. APAC has recently concluded its own fund raising campaign for tsunami relief and continues to solicit additional funds under the direction of Atlanta United Asians-Americans (AUAA). APAC is currently feverishly planning its annual banquet celebrating Asian/Pacific American Heritage Month to be held in early May. APAC will continue to serve the community with additional events throughout the year.
