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.
