For as long as I can remember, the Italian Sons and Daughters of America has been part of my life. In many ways, I was born into it, surrounded by the traditions, values, and people who have made this organization a pillar of our Italian American community for generations. To now step into a leadership role within the ISDA is both an extraordinary honor and a deeply personal milestone.
My connection to this organization began long before I fully understood its significance. The ISDA has shaped my identity from childhood through adulthood, not only through its programs and events, but through the relationships, the shared pride, and the powerful sense of family that defines who we are. The ISDA has never been just an organization to me; it has been a lifelong home.
