It is noted that the Jordanian American Association (JACA) offers free membership to those wishing to join its programs and future initiatives.
The association continues this journey with a new elite of activists, until JACA has reached its current form, to remain the association that represents the interest of the community in all its spectrums.
The association's current and sublime aim is now to continue the path started by community activists, earnestly working to realize the greater dream of establishing a building that befits the Jordanian presence, named after the Jordanian American Association and the noble community, a center that will include, in addition to activity halls and cultural evenings, a museum and exhibit reflecting the history, heritage, and civilization of Jordan and the first centennial of the long-lived Kingdom led by the Hashemites, headed by His Majesty King Abdullah II the Grand, who reflects the bright face of the East and is a landmark in peace and balance.
