Chairman’s Circle

Chairman’s Circle

French Heritage Society’s Chairman’s Circle program offers distinct benefits for members contributing $5,000 and above annually who wish to experience private entrée to France. Donors at this level can participate in an annual exclusive trip to France, in addition to other select privileges.

Highlights have included private visits to exclusive collections and sites, being received in historic châteaux and homes, formal receptions and fine dining. Hosts from prominent French families, official dignitaries and honored guests who have participated in these programs include former French President Valéry Giscard d’Estaing, Princesse de Beauvau Craon, and HRH Prince Jean d’Orléans. Chairman’s Circle donors are also invited to an annual dinner in elegant Parisian homes and are entitled to receive a special full-day personalized visit in France, organized by French Heritage Society’s Cercle des Amis.

The Chairman’s Circle attracts prominent American members who appreciate the warm welcome extended by gracious hosts in Paris and throughout France. Through shared experiences, they develop close bonds with their hosts as well as with American compatriots. Chairmen’s Circle members look forward to reuniting in France with this distinct family of French Heritage Society supporters.

French Heritage Society is extremely grateful to its Chairman’s Circle members who actively support its mission through their membership and participation in trips and activities. Strong relationships with loyal supporters and donors have been established over 30 years.

Fundraising is a major component of its activity.
