The Italy-America Chamber of Commerce of Texas is pleased to announce the results of the recent election for its 2026 Board of Directors.
We are delighted to welcome Ed Hotard, Chairman and CEO of SIAD America, as a new member of the Board. His extensive experience and leadership will bring valuable insight and perspective to our organization as we continue to support and strengthen business ties between Italy and Texas.
At the same time, we warmly congratulate Brando Ballerini and Mario Schiavo on their re-election. Their continued service reflects the confidence our membership places in their leadership, dedication, and commitment to advancing the Chamber’s mission.
We would like to extend our sincere appreciation to all candidates who participated in this year’s election and demonstrated their willingness to contribute to the growth and success of IACC Texas. We also thank our departing Board member for his valuable service, support, and commitment to the Chamber throughout his tenure.
We look forward to working together with our Board of Directors as we continue to foster meaningful connections, promote bilateral trade and investment, and strengthen the economic relationship between Italy and Texas.
Congratulations to our newly elected and re-elected Board members, and thank you to everyone who participated in this important process.
