More than 250 of our supporters and friends came together to celebrate Irish leadership and ingenuity in business, at the Union League Club in New York on April 27th.

We were delighted to enjoy an insightful and inspiring conversation between our 2023 Honoree, Adrian Jones, Chairman & Co-Head of Global Private Equity, with Goldman Sachs, and Partnership board member Brian Ruane of BNY Mellon.

“The stuff we care about, it’s children and health – particularly mental health. I’ve over the last few years gotten to know the Irish American Partnership – I think it’s a wonderful organization with a very clear, simple focus and I love that. I love the focus on education and I see the difference.”

Partnership supporters also welcomed remarks by Vice Consul Dermot Fitzpatrick, Ambassador of Ireland to the United Nations, Fergal Mythen, and Principal Paul Keogh, of Summerhill College in Sligo. We were delighted to present Principal Keogh with a grant in support of the sensory facilities at the secondary school.

Special thanks go to our Co-Chairs Brian Ruane of BNY Mellon and Tommy Dwyer of Clune Construction, to our wonderful Host Committee and generous Sponsors who support the work of the Partnership year after year.

Together, we invest in the future of Ireland – the young people, the culture, and the ideas that are writing the next chapter in Irish history.

Ní neart go chur le chéile – we are stronger together.
