We will expand our members’ business and social network via business, cultural and social events open to existing and potential Danish business and social members, sponsors, related parties and stakeholders. We will provide services for and share knowledge with parties with an interest in Danish relations. We will provide opportunities to learn about the Danish culture. We will support the Danish American community in the Southeast USA with primary focus on Georgia and surrounding areas. We will be respected in our environment and among our partners for what we do, and how we do it.

We make quality business and social events such as Danish Film Festival, Corporate Presentations, Business Luncheons, Business Summit, Skt.
