Basil Russo, John Viola, and the IAFL team conducted a special seminar in Detroit last weekend at the request of Italian Consul Allegra Baistrocchi.
Its purpose was to bring together future leaders of the Italian American community and offer them a platform to collectively express their pride in their heritage, to formulate plans as to how they can unite Italian America’s younger generations throughout the country, and to encourage them to begin assuming leadership roles in our various organizations.

This unique program constructively challenges the attendees through strategic analysis, competition, and 21st-century collaboration that create an extended family environment, with the goal of producing a cohesive group that will continue to work together moving forward.
The IAFL is sponsored by the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations (COPOMIAO.org), and the Italian Sons and Daughters of America (OrderISDA.org).
