Vision, Mission and Objectives

Seeking to build on the valuable experiences gained, ideas explored and knowledge acquired as participants in the many and varied exchange programs sponsored by the United States and, further, by way of making a meaningful contribution to Ireland and its people and developing the warm and extensive links that exist between Ireland and the United States, the Ireland United States Alumni Association hereby sets forth its vision and mission for the future:

 

Vision Statement:

The Ireland United States Alumni Association aims to be the pre-eminent network in Ireland for advocating and promoting the positive contribution of strong Ireland-United States social, economic and cultural relations.

 

Mission Statement:

By means of establishing a vibrant, sustainable, influential and giving community of alumni, the mission of the Ireland United States Alumni Association is to mobilise and utilise the power, talents, experience and leadership of its alumni in order to make a beneficial contribution to Ireland as a whole. It seeks, in particular, to do this through a number of specific objectives.

 

Objectives:

Recognising that members are both self-interested (e.g., networking) and altruistic (e.g., looking to give something back), the Association’s objectives are to:

  1. Celebrate, promote and champion the mutuality of the Ireland-United States relationship.
  2. Provide opportunities to contribute to Irish society.
  3. Provide a link between alumni and the United States Embassy.
  4. Secure the active participation of alumni.
  5. Foster a sense of belonging to the Association.
