The strength and vitality of Romanian-American communities lie in the dedication and dynamism of their people and organizations. Across the United States, a growing network of foundations, associations, and initiatives led by Americans of Romanian descent contributes meaningfully to diverse fields, including education, culture, social services, business, and international relations.

These organizations not only preserve and promote Romanian heritage but also foster community engagement, support newcomers, and build bridges with the broader American society. Their efforts reflect a deep sense of civic responsibility and cultural pride.

Since its inception, The Romanian Weekend at The Wharf has served as more than a celebration of Romanian culture—it has become a platform to recognize and honor the outstanding leaders and organizations shaping the Romanian-American experience. Year after year, this vibrant event brings together community members from across the country to connect, collaborate, and celebrate shared identity and achievements.

Through such initiatives, the Romanian-American community continues to grow stronger, more visible, and more united—an inspiring example of leadership, resilience, and cultural richness.
