“President Marciandi brings dedication, professionalism, and a clear vision for the future of our community. Her leadership will be essential in strengthening COMITES’s role as a bridge between institutions and Italians living in the Tri-State area, fostering dialogue, promoting initiatives, and encouraging active participation,” the Committee said in a statement.
“This appointment also marks a historic milestone for our organization: for the first time in over 40 years, both the President and the Vice President (Ornella Fado) of COMITES New York are women.
This important moment reflects the evolution of our community and highlights the growing impact of female leadership in institutional and cultural life abroad.
COMITES New York looks to this new chapter with confidence and enthusiasm, continuing its mission to support, represent, and connect Italians abroad,” the statement concluded.
