The Galway Chamber has welcomed new President Eveanna Ryan, and she officially took up her duties last week as she aims to build upon the organisation’s work.
Ms. Ryan takes over from outgoing Galway Chamber President Dermot Nolan, and she spoke about her hopes for the coming 12 months as she steps into her leadership role.
“It is a tremendous honour and privilege that alongside my roles as Group Marketing and Innovation Manager with the Connacht Hospitality Group, I assume the role of President of the Galway Chamber.”
“I am committed to serving our dynamic business community and the wonderful city of Galway,” Ms. Ryan said.
Housing and transport are both urgent topics which she said she hopes to work on, while putting them in front of key decision makers.
One of her main goals is to make the Galway business community’s life easier, prosperous, and more enjoyable, and she is committed to doing everything she can to make that a reality.
Eveanna said that she will be working with Galway Chamber’s Executive Team under CEO Kenny Deery on creating a digital marketing campaign to promote the work of the chamber, and its members.
“In an ever-evolving business landscape, it’s crucial that we encourage innovation and the ability to adapt to change.”
“We will support initiatives that drive technological advancements and sustainability, ensuring our members remain at the forefront of their industries,” she added.
Ms. Ryan intends to use her year as Galway Chamber President to consistently back local business through a variety of supports.
Plus, she aims to promote not only local growth of businesses, but also build on the international investment that the city has brought in during recent times.
“We will continue to give our members opportunities to network, creating opportunities for meaningful partnerships and collaborations that drive mutual growth while also providing educational resources, workshops, and training programs to equip our members with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in their respective industries.”
“Galway’s potential extends beyond our borders. We will explore opportunities to expand our international presence and connect with global markets, opening doors for our local businesses to reach new horizons.”
“To build on what’s been an exception couple of years in attracting global investment into our beautiful city,” Ms. Ryan said.
