Mission Statement:
To nurture an environment for business and professional growth inclusive of our Italian history and culture, that provides our members the commercial, educational, and charitable forums necessary to inspire pride throughout the Italian community, and to establish a relationship of trust and service between our members and our fellow citizens.
History:
Founded in 1919 by several American Businessmen of Italian Descent. Its purpose was to foster business relationships amongst fellow Italians. The IACC has grown in stature and membership. Today, as a "professional/social" organization of Italian business owners and professionals in Michigan, we have over 225 active members. General membership meetings are held 10 times a year at member facilities with an excellent meal and guest speakers discussing a variety of business related topics.
The IACC reaches out to the Italian community at large contributing to a number of events throughout the year. Additionally, we sponsor a golf outing, lottery and raffle to raise funds to award scholarships to deserving college bound men and women of Italian heritage. Twenty scholarships have been awarded the past two years.
Caring, preserving and sharing our Italian heritage and good fortune is the foundation of the IACC.
