The Italian-American Civic Association (IACA) was illuminated on October 10, 2009 in honor of the Association's Seventh Annual Italian American Citizen of the Year Dinner. Appropriately celebrated in conjunction with Columbus Day, the IRCA outdid themselves with a smorgasbord of Italian delights as well as jazzy tunes which set the tone for an exciting evening to tribute the 2009-2010 Italian American Citizen of the Year: Gene Billero.

IACA Board Member, Ernst Rovella, provided kind words as he introduced the Honoree and Vero Beach Vice-Mayor, Tom White, concluded the proclamation with a toast to Mr. Billero.

Cited for his generous acts of community support both emotionally and financially, Gene Billero was honored "In recognition and appreciation of his dedication, hard work, and professionalism unselfishly given in service to the Vero Beach community.

Gene Billero has been an active member/resident of the Vero Beach community for seventeen years. He is a devoted husband to Susan of 28 years and father to Hollie, 25, E.L, 22, and Victoria, 20. Additionally, he is co-founder and owner of Billero & Billero Properties, a full service real estate brokerage firm established in Indian River County.

Gene graduated from Stockton State College in Pomona, New Jersey with a Bachelor's Degree in Marketing and Management, where he was President of the Business Club. He currently serves as a Eucharistic Minister at Holy Cross Catholic Church, as a member of The Moorings Country Club, and on the Board of Directors for Habitat for Humanity.

In his spare time, Mr. Billero has an avid passion for antique and classic automobiles, as well as auto shows, writing, traveling, playing tennis and taking family outings. Straight from the source, his dreams for the Vero Beach community include, "Better jobs for our young people, so they, too, can enjoy living and growing their families in our little bit of "paradise".
