Dear Voce readers, After nearly fourteen years of managing Voce Italiana, it’s time to let other fresh voices be heard and to pass the torch to a new editorial team. During the past two years I have spent increasingly more time on my volunteer duties as President of the Casa Italiana Sociocultural Center Inc. and toward the creation of the Italian American Museum of Washington DC.

I now plan to focus my time almost entirely on these cultural programs, which I hope will grow and enrich our community and beyond. Voce Italiana has taught me so much about our Italian and Italian American community, and I hope to use that knowledge to find ways to support our rich and diverse community.
