  • The National Organization of Italian American Women (NOIAW) is an American Sisterhood group founded in 1980 to represent Italian American women of varied professional and business backgrounds. Through the invitation of Dr. Aileen Riotto Sirey and the encouragement of Geraldine A Ferraro a small group of Italian American women met at Dr. Sirey's home on July 14, 1980 to start the group. The founding members included Aileen Riotto Sirey, Ph.D., then-U.S. Representative from New York Geraldine Ferraro, Matilda Cuomo (wife of Mario Cuomo, then Lieutenant Governor of New York), Donna deMatteo, Bonnie Mandina and Roseanne Colletti. The group sought to create a national network to support the educational and professional aspirations of its members, and to combat ethnic stereotypes by promoting positive role models. Dr. Aileen Riotto Sirey was the first President for 7 years and Chairwoman for 25 years retiring on May 5, 2012 with the title Founder and Chair Emerita. NOIAW-sponsored events are educational, cultural and social in nature and focus on issues of interest to Italian American women. The programs recognize and promote the accomplishments and contributions of women of Italian ancestry as well as acknowledge women as keepers of the culture. The group awards scholarships. In 2007 the NOIAW joined with the Italian Foreign Ministry, to establish an Exchange Program. Under this program Italian students spend two weeks as guests of the organization and on alternate years Italian American College students go to Italy. The organization awards scholarships each year to Italian American women for pursuit of higher education. NOIAW is committed to preserving Italian heritage, language, and culture while simultaneously promoting and supporting the advancement of women of Italian ancestry. Through its mentor program, NOIAW matches graduate and undergraduate students and women returning to the work force, with NOIAW members in the same field who provide guidance and ongoing support. NOIAW has evolved into an international organization bringing together women of Italian ancestry throughout the United States with women in Italy, Argentina and Australia through international events and conferences.

  • L'Organizzazione Nazionale delle Donne Italoamericane (In inglese The National Organization of Italian American Women o NOIAW) è una comunità di donne italoamericane composta da diverse professioniste. I membri includono dottoresse, avvocatesse, artiste, scienziate, infermiere, donne d'affari, educatrici, scrittrici, giudici e casalinghe. È l'unica organizzazione nazionale statunitense composta da donne di origine italiana. La NOIAW ha sponsorizzato eventi educativi, culturali e sociali e si focalizza su argomenti d'interesse per le donne italoamericane. I programmi riconoscono e promuovono i contributi e le realizzazioni di donne di origine italiana, così come pure riconoscono le donne quali custodi della cultura. Attraverso il loro programma guida, le studenti laureate e laureande e le donne che tornano sul mercato del lavoro sono contattate dai membri NOIAW dello stesso campo, fornendo guida e supporto. Borse di studio sono assegnate ogni anno a donne italoamericane per assisterle finanziariamente nel proseguire la loro educazione. La NOIAW si impegna nel preservare l'eredità italiana, la lingua, la cultura, mentre contemporaneamente promuove il supporto e la promozione sociale di donne di discendenza italiana. La NOIAW fu fondata nel 1980 da un piccolo gruppo di donne italoamericane, che ambivano a creare una rete nazionale per appoggiare le aspirazioni professionali ed educative dei suoi membri e per combattere gli streotipi etnici, promuovendo modelli sociali positivi. Oggigiorno la NOIAW si è evoluta in un'organizzazione internazionale che fa socializzare assieme donne di origine italiana in tutti gli Stati Uniti d'America con donne in Italia, Argentina e Australia attraverso una serie di eventi internazionali e conferenze.
