Network Ireland President. |

As President of Network Ireland in 2008 a year in which it celebrates
its 25th Anniversary (1983 – 2008) it gives me a wonderful
sense of honour and a great sense of achievement to have been
elected in a celebratory year.
This is a very special year in the history of the organisation
which provides a forum where women in business, the professions
and the arts can exchange ideas and increase their business
contacts.
To have reached this milestone is in itself a testament to
the organisation that is expanding in membership and constantly
more branches being formed.
In my year my dream is to maintain this culture and to foster
unity within our current branches and to offer a hand of friendship
to new members affiliating themselves to our organisation.
I want to maintain and continue the dream of business women
who in 1983 founded this organisation, and through their dreams
and foresight we have reached this 25th anniversary.
I am encompassing this idea for the 2008 National Conference
under the theme “ Hold that Dream”.
I promise to be available to all members to listen, to help
or advise, whenever possible.
I will continue with the lobbying of government bodies that
we put in place in 2007, and to establish contact with women’s
agencies in England and the U.S.A.
I am looking forward to being 2008 National President and
to hosting a very special National Conference on the 3rd October
2008.
With Best Regards,
Maria Croake |
