ABOUT
The American Society of São Paulo is a civil, non-profit association founded on May 10, 1950. The Society acts as a liaison and promotes friendship between the membership and a variety of organizations, including the American Consulate, the American Chamber of Commerce, American schools, churches, charities, and athletic groups, to name a few by organizing social, cultural, and athletic events for its diverse membership; encourages integration with the Brazilian society; and supporting beloved American traditions. Read our Mission Statement
The American Society concentrates on three pillars for its members and community:
GOVERNANCE
Our entirely voluntary Board of Directors is the governing body responsible for overseeing the organization's mission, strategy, goals, and activities. They steer The American Society of São Paulo towards a sustainable future through the legal and financial governance of AmSoc.
HONORS
The Eric Poliak Award represents AmSoc’s highest honor and was founded in memory of Eric Poliak, a past governor and president of the American Society (AmSoc), community member, and friend. After Mr. Poliak’s untimely death in May 1984, the Board of Governors established this tribute to be given annually to a person in the São Paulo community who has unselfishly contributed his or her time and effort for the good of the entire community.
