Alliance Members Meet the Former Governor

NY Alliance members Frank Fortino, Greg Fortino, Eyal Isaac, and Mitch Wergiles recently attended an exclusive dinner hosted by the Columbus Citizens Foundation, where they had the opportunity to connect with former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo, a featured speaker at the event.

With a legacy spanning over 75 years, the Columbus Citizens Foundation was established by the children of Italian immigrants to honor the enduring impact of Italian Americans on the fabric of U.S. society. Since its founding, the Foundation has distributed over $40 million in scholarships and charitable grants, advancing educational and cultural initiatives nationwide. The organization is also known for producing New York City’s renowned Columbus Day Parade—an annual celebration of Italian American heritage that draws millions of viewers both on Fifth Avenue and across the country. Frank and Greg Fortino are long-time members of the Foundation.
