The 3rd National Italian American Summit meeting (NIAS 3) will be held Thursday, Sept. 30 at 6 p.m. EST via Zoom, and we're pleased to announce that Minority House Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.), will be the keynote speaker at the virtual event. All are welcome as we advance our culture's most pressing initiatives!
During NIAS 3, we will: 1) Unveil a new strategy to win the Columbus battle, while looking at the latest local and federal updates. 2) Discuss the progress of our Committees: Reconnecting with Our Youth, Italian Language, Charitable Activities, Museums and Cultural Institutions, Public Policy and Save Columbus. Email us today and share your Italian American Heritage Month activities, and we'll promote your events during Thursday's Summit.
More than 600 groups participated in our 1st and 2nd Summit meetings this past winter and summer, and we highly encourage all clubs and organizations to join us for NIAS 3 as we continue to establish a nationally united Italian America! Lastly, a special thanks to Congressman Tom Suozzi (D-NY), who served as the keynote speaker during NIAS 2 this past June.
