The prestigious Donna Distinta Award, presented by the Italian Sons and Daughters of America and the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations, celebrates outstanding women of Italian descent to spotlight their contributions, from culture and industry to philanthropy and advocacy.

The March 2025 Donna Distinta Award goes to Ms. Andrea Bartlett, a driving force behind the national young generations movement, Italian American Future Leaders. For over a decade, Andrea Bartlett has curated high-profile Italian events in Washington, D.C. and New York City, bringing together prominent Italians and Italian Americans from around the world.
