Albanian American Association Ulqini (Chicago)

Albanian American Association Ulqini (Chicago) is listed in Morton Grove, Illinois as part of the National Albanian Registry's directory of Albanian-American organizations. It belongs to the wider Shoqata Ulqini network, which represents diaspora from the coastal city of Ulqini (Ulcinj) and works to keep that community connected across the United States.

The Ulqini association's stated purpose is cultural: preserving Albanian language and traditions, supporting families with roots in Ulqini, and maintaining ties with the homeland. In the Chicago area, the network has been organizing toward a dedicated Albanian American Cultural Center for the Chicagoland region, raising funds publicly for that project.

The group takes part in broader Chicago-area Albanian community life, including events alongside the Albanian American Women Association of Greater Chicago, and posts regular commemorations of Albanian national days and recognition of Kosovo. Its public footprint runs mostly through community social media and fundraising pages rather than mainstream press.

Public records do not document a founding year, board, or street address for the Morton Grove listing specifically, and it is one of several Ulqini-named Albanian-American associations in the U.S., distinct from the Staten Island, New York entity of a similar name.
