He currently serves as one of B’nai B’rith Europe’s representatives to the B’nai B’rith Board of Governors and is the vice president of the B’nai B’rith Rome Lodge.
In this leadership position, Citone takes an active role implementing B’nai B’rith’s policies and programs during a three-year term.
Citone has been involved with B’nai B’rith since 1994, when he was a founding member of the young adult lodge in Rome. As vice president of the adult lodge, he was part of the senior B’nai B’rith leadership delegation that met privately with Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican in May 2011. He has also been involved with B’nai B’rith Europe’s Young Jewish Adult Forum.
Throughout his B’nai B’rith service, Citone has remained committed to supporting Israel, fighting anti-Semitism and involving young adults in the Jewish community.
