Supporting the consular community since 1968.

Our Story

Founded in 1968 by Mr. Hernan Navarro, Consul of Chile to the United States, the Consular Corps was established to serve as a forum for diplomats to discuss current consular issues and challenges.

In 1974, the Corps officially adopted its Organizational Guidelines, which continue to govern it today, more than five decades later.
