On September 11, 1956, President Dwight Eisenhower announced the People-to-People Program, which called for American citizens to engage in citizen diplomacy and create sister city relationships to build a structure that advocates for world peace. 

In response to this call to action, a small group of Glendorans began to lay the groundwork for the Glendora Sister City Association (GSCA). The GSCA would meet monthly as a community organization and officially become incorporated as a nonprofit on April 6, 1966. The charter officers of the GSCA include;

Chairman: President of Citrus College, Dr. Glenn Vaniman

Vice-Chairman: Dr. Clarence Kron

Recording Secretary: Mrs. H.P. Waters

Corresponding Secretary: Mrs. Herbert Sharp

Treasurer: Mrs. Georgia Meissenburg
