The bi-cameral and bi-partisan Italian American Congressional Delegation (IACD) is composed of nearly 200 Members of Congress: twenty-nine who trace their ancestry to Italy and more than 150 Associate IACD Members who, although not Italian American, have an interest in the Italian American Community.
The IACD is currently chaired by Bill Pascrell (NJ-8) and Mark Amodei (NV-2) of the U.S. House of Representatives.[1]
Italian American groups occasionally work with the IACD on issues of importance to the Italian American community and to advance U.S.-Italy political, cultural and trade relations.
