Dear Anne,
As this is our last Member ezine of this year, I wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for your support as a member. This guidance and insight shapes our work and makes what we do truly representative.
Over the course of 2024, IoD Ireland has evolved to meet the expectations of our members. We have done this through our research, policy, and advocacy work, such as on state body governance. But also in providing further member supports and resources, such as our Director Development Toolkit; new and innovative learning and education opportunities, such as our Digital Strategy programme; as well as hosting a series of thought leadership events.
We have more to do, and we look forward to sharing more with you in 2025 and continuing to support your needs as directors and members.
On behalf of all at IoD Ireland, I wish you a Happy Christmas and peaceful New Year.
Best wishes,
Caroline Spillane CDir
Chief Executive Officer
