Founders, executives, and senior operators in Albanian-American-led for-profits.

Who fits

• Founders, CEOs, presidents of Albanian-American-owned or led companies
• Senior executives (VP+) at any company with substantial Albanian-American customer or workforce ties
• Investors, advisors, board directors with portfolio exposure to Albanian-American businesses
• Especially needed: construction, restaurants, finance, tech

What you bring

Your network in the diaspora business community is what NAR cannot replicate from the outside. Introductions to fellow operators, candor about what works in the community, and a check on whether NAR's positions actually serve businesses on the ground.

What NAR needs from you specifically

NAR's long-term independence depends on a self-sustaining community business class that funds and partners with diaspora institutions. The Advisory Board is where business voices shape that strategy before it lands.

What you get

• A vote on consequential org decisions (data policy, bylaws, dissolution)
• Direct line to the President, Treasurer, and Secretary at quarterly meetings
• First look at NAR data — Albanian-American demographics, business activity, geographic distribution — before public release
• Listed publicly with your name + sector + city/state (opt-out available)
• Access to the full Founding Board Member roster and the broader advisory network

No references required. The board reviews applications weekly; we get back to everyone within 7–14 days.
