During her tenure at Signature Bank, Ms. Iannucci has been a valued financial advisor and supporter of a range of local community outreach organizations that serve those in need, including Freeport Pride, Long Beach Reach and Open Door Parent and Child Center.  Ms. Iannucci is a past Board Member of the Long Island Arts Council and former Honoree and Finance Committee member of Project REAL (Residential Experience in Adult Living), a non-profit residential program that has been serving the mental health community in Nassau County for more than 20 years, offering an alternative to state institutions and psychiatric hospitals.
