Dangkulu na Si Yu’us Ma’ase for your support! The Guam Society of America, Inc. (GSA) in Washington, D.C. with over 250 family members from around the nation’s capital and throughout the United States. The Society endeavors: 1) to foster and encourage educational, cultural, civic and social programs and activities among the members and friends of the Society in the District of Columbia and its surrounding communities, and whenever possible throughout the United States and its territories. 2) to foster and perpetuate the Chamorro language, culture and traditions.

The Guam Society was originally known as the Guam Territorial Society until 1986 when its name was changed to its current form. The Society was first organized in 1952 when a group of Chamorros living in the DC area decided to form an organization to represent Guam in the Conference of State Societies, which was formally created on April 3, 1952 by an act of Congress (66 Stat.412 Pub. Law 293, 82nd Congress, HR 4467) to promote friendly and cooperative relations between the various State and Territorial Societies in the District of Columbia and to foster educational, cultural and civic activities in the District of Columbia and surrounding communities.
