José Eustáquio | President

ACAPO has been more than an organization to me—it has been my family, bringing me some of the highest and lowest moments of my life. It instilled in me a profound pride in my culture, love for our people, and the conviction that anything is possible, even against all odds. As the most complete Portuguese organization in the diaspora, ACAPO has united our community and celebrated our heritage. Through Portugal Week, we have created unforgettable memories , from Abrunhosa in 1997 to Resistência and Xutos in 2017. Every Portugal Day Parade reflects our passion and resilience. These moments remind me of the power of unity, the strength of our culture, and our limitless potential.
