After the political changes in Poland starting in 1990 there was a need to establish an organization which would foster international trade relations with Poland. The South Florida area represents a gateway not only to the United States but South America and the Caribbean. This geographic location is strategically important to Polish business organizations. Its two large airports, port facilities, financial institutions have a great potential for Polish investors and Exporters.
 Mr. Anthony Edward Kruszewski, a leading Polish American businessman in Florida, President and CEO of USAirMotive and Prof. Dr. Zdzislaw P. Wesolowski, Professor of Business and Economics at Florida Memorial University established the Chamber in 1993. During these years the Chamber participated in various international trade missions, hosted Polish Expos and visiting businessmen and government officials from Poland. In addition, it has over the years became a center of business and economic information about Poland and has fostered academic programs in Poland with South Florida academic community. At that time the Polish Chamber of Florida was the first such organization in the United States.
In addition to its business activities, the chamber was also involved in humanitarian activities in Poland assisting flood victims, aid to children and sponsored and participated in shipment of medicine and hospital eq.
