Our Mission

The American Concord Society promotes true community growth and outreach to enhance citizens and communities. Through word of mouth, publications, and an open communication network we share ideas to accomplish our goals. We each have much to learn from one another, and we all need each other more now than we have in living memory. This organization is therefore committed to enhance the citizenry, one community at a time, for a better nation.

To achieve our mission we must discover our commonalities. This starts with having conversations, and working through our differences to find the common ground. Through outreach programs and local meetings, this organization strives to bring people together to find common interests and goals.

You have a voice, even if you have not yet used it. This organization helps you discover the person your community needs you to be through education, workshops, and interactive meetings.

Ask yourself what kind of community do you want to live in? Most people want one in which we feel safe, welcome, and productive. Many of us have similar goals – we want to be productive and provide. As an organization we work with you to achieve a better culture for you and your community.
