The board, which will remain in office for the next term, is composed of: Pietro Celi, relations with international promotional bodies; Palmiro Noschese, Herald (Master of Ceremonies); Gaetano Papa, relations with service clubs; Andrea Pietrini, relations with American universities in Italy; Paolo Quattrocchi, relations with Canada; Fabio Reali, relations with religious and third sector entities; Pietro Viola, relations with international Chambers of Commerce.

President Cutuli stated: "It is an honor for me to chair the Rome Chapter of OSDIA. An organization for which, in 2019, I gave support in establishing the first chapter outside of American continent in over 100 years of its history. We will work with our usual commitment to continue the organization's mission, promoting Italian-American culture and strengthening ties between Italy and the United States. I thank members for their trust in me and the outgoing board, chaired by Dr. Andrea Pietrini, for the excellent work done."
