History of the AAC
The AAC was founded in 2003 by Jürgen Abel then president of The American Club of Hamburg. The first Association of American Clubs Conference was held in Hamburg, Germany, at which time the Reciprocity Agreement was celebrated and signed by 14 co-founding clubs on October 11, 2003. AAC conferences are held annually in the autumn and attendance has grown as American clubs and societies around the world join the association.
