UPDATE FROM OUR PRESIDENT
Frank A. Sommario

Since my last March 1, 2024 message, NIABA Officers and Board Members from across the United States, Canada, Spain and Italy attended the Board of Directors’ meetings in Montreal, Canada on June 14-15, 2024. Thank you to NIABA Past President and Board Member Dino Mazzone and Board Member Franco Schiro for hosting the board meetings and providing breakfast and lunch.

On Wednesday evening, June 12, 2024, some of the early arrivals enjoyed a nice dinner at Estiatorio Milos – Montreal (5357 Park Ave, Montreal QC H2V 4G9, Canada) sponsored by Board Member Franco Schiro. On Thursday evening, June 13, 2024, some of the Board attended dinner at Petros (4785 Rue Sherbrooke O, Westmount QC H3Z1G5, Canada), where we enjoyed a nice dinner and wine. Special thanks to Dino Mazzone for selecting the restaurant and menu, as well to all Annual and meeting sponsors of NIABA.
