CIIM - Confederation of Italian Entrepreneurs Worldwide
 CIIM (Confederazione degli Imprenditori Italiani nel Mondo - Confederation of Italian Entrepreneurs Worldwide) was established on June 2004 with the intent to develop a global business network linking Italian business communities abroad with businesses operating in Italy. CIIM's goal is to enable its members to work cooperatively in foreign markets to promote innovation and the opportunity to exchange experiences, ideas, contacts. Participating members hold high ranking positions in today's business community, are either Italian or of Italian origin, and reside, or have a business, abroad. While CIIM is influenced by the main office in Rome, its chapters around the world are strategically run as independent entities and are financed by local members. CIIM North America is a coordinating committee, which facilitates collaboration and coordination between the activities of CIIM USA and CIIM Canada and their respective local chapters.

 UNICO was founded on October 10, 1922 in Waterbury, Connecticut. A group of 15 men, led by Dr. Anthony P. Vastola, came together to create what has become a very special and very proud organization. It was Dr. Vastola's dream to create an Italian American service organization to engage in charitable works, support higher education, and perform patriotic deeds. Each year, UNICO Foundation and UNICO National Chapters donate approximately $1 million to various charities. Scholarships continue to be the primary focus, as roughly one-third of all monies raised goes to deserving students from chapter locations throughout the chain.
