The American Lithuanian Economic Development Advisory Council (ALEDAC) has been set up under the Lithuanian embassy in Washington, in efforts to use the community's potential, contacts and expertise for economic development in the mainland and for bilateral business ties. Lithuanian Ambassador in Washington, V. Usackas, said the idea of founding a consultative council appeared as the Lithuanian community members in the US were successful in business world and owned flourishing companies.

Rainis (“Brown Brothers Harriman”), Juozas Krivickas (“iPhrase technologies, Inc.”), Audrey Gruss (“Martin & Audrey Gruss Foundation”), Saulius Anužis (“Quick Connect”), Stanley Balzekas („Balzekas Motor Sales, Inc.”), Rimas P.Buinevicius ( “Sonicfoundry”), Juozas Kazickas, (“NERIS companies”), Krista Bard („Bard Associates, Inc.“), Arūnas Šlekys (“Hughes Network Systems” ), Victor Grinius (“Offshore Model Basin“).
