THE PREAMBLE

Appreciating that we are descended from an old and time-honored civilization that has contributed to the enlightenment of the human spirit; and recognizing that Americans of Italian heritage desire to perpetuate the rich cultural patrimony, traditions and history that uniquely derives from a shared common experience that has guided and distinguished them for three millennia; and further recognizing that numerous entities have been organized throughout the land for the purpose of attaining these goals, contributing immeasurably to the commonwealth through active civic participation; and wishing to provide a spiritual bond among these organizations wherever they are found and whenever they seek to promote expression for concerns deemed of mutual interest and demanding of a united voice, this Constitution and these By-laws are hereby promulgated, established and ordained for the Conference of Presidents of Major Italian American Organizations. Incorporated State of New York 2016.
