Join us for our annual Sip & Vote event, where we toast to the future of our organization! You may bring your printed ballot to the event, if you haven't already voted online, and enjoy a cocktail at the lovely Rose Garden Palace.

This year’s election season is especially meaningful, as our gathering will also include a special recognition of the President of John Cabot University, Dr. Franco Pavoncello, who is retiring this year. His steadfast support and partnership have meant so much to AWAR over the years. We hope you will join us not only to participate in our elections, but also to celebrate a valued friend whose leadership at one of our sustaining member institutions has meant so much to our association. 

When: Thursday, May 28, 6:00 pm

Where: Rose Garden Palace (across from the American Embassy)

Please RSVP online by Tuesday, May 26 to reserve your spot with us, but we'll pay individually at the venue. Kindly update or cancel your registration if your plans change so we can confirm accurate numbers with the location. Members only.

Improve your Italian with Fluency & Confidence Coach Elisabetta Maccani! The 60‑minute online session is dedicated to AWAR members who already know some Italian (can handle basic conversations) and want to feel more natural and confident when they speak.

These free sessions focus on real‑life skills that often cause difficulty – for example asking better questions, using pronouns, expressing opinions with the subjunctive, or keeping a conversation going beyond small talk – with clear explanations and practical activities.

Every session is shaped by the needs of the women who join: we start from the situations and difficulties they describe, and work in a very focused way to give them concrete tools to overcome those challenges in Italian.

The event will be held via Zoom so you can join from anywhere. The link to join will be sent via email after you register.

The event will be held the first Tuesday of the months: February, March, April, May, and June.

Write to president@awar.org with any questions.
