COUNCIL
OF LUMINAS
Mission
To unite leaders and cultural visionaries in preserving Filipino and Polynesian heritage, empowering future generations, and illuminating paths of service, wisdom, and unity across communities and cultures.
As a circle of accomplished leaders and mentors, the Council of Luminas continues a legacy of civic excellence, cultural stewardship, and enlightened leadership — a fellowship of those who once served, now guiding the next to shine.
Presidents & Past Presidents
The Council of Luminas represents a gathering of enlightened leaders — those who bring light to their communities through wisdom, service, and cultural pride.
It’s where past presidents, civic figures, and cultural ambassadors unite to share their light — not to outshine, but to illuminate others.
