History of The IBO
The Irish Business Organization of New York, Inc.
was founded in 1973. At it's inception the organization was named
The Irish Insurance and Reinsurance Society, a name reflecting
that it's founding members were insurance professionals.
As early as their second meeting, the name was shortened to the
Irish Insurance Society and in 1977 was changed to the Irish Insurance
Society of New York. The founding members created the organization
to develop an information and education network that all of the
members could contribute to and benefit from. As the organization
grew its wider value to the Irish and Irish-American business
community as a whole became apparent. Thus, the organization was
renamed The Irish Business Organization of New York. In 1990 the
IBO was incorporated as a non-profit organization. The format
location and focus for the IBO's regular meetings varied over
the years from informal meetings in pubs to formal sit-down dinners
to the current format which includes a networking session and
presentations from prominent and interesting guest speakers and
members. Topics cover a wide range of important and interesting
business-related issues.
The IBO now meets regularly. In addition to the IBO's monthly
general meeting, the organization now sponsors numerous events,
which provide opportunities for networking, professional development,
education, inspiration and friendship amongst members. |
