NELA
Gala Highlights
Every
year, the Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF) celebrates
Italian American achievement at its National Education & Leadership
Awards (NELA) Gala in Washington, D.C. Over the years,
the NELA has drawn American presidents, cabinet officers,
members of Congress and the diplomatic corps as well
as leaders in business, labor, education, sports and
entertainment. The NELA celebrates today’s vision – the
notable contributions of distinguished Italian Americans
in law, medicine, entertainment, business, labor and
other fields
– and tomorrow's promise – the bright scholars
who receive educational funding from the SIF.
President
George W. Bush and Italy's Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi

strong alliance between Italy and the United States during
the Sons of Italy Foundation (SIF) gala, May 19, 2004
