The Board of Directors would like to acknowledge and thank long-time board member and founding member, Rich Meehan, for his nearly 20 years of board service. Rich stepped down from our Board this June.
Rich’s dedication and contribution to the Chamber has been immense! He selflessly donated his time and talents to establish an efficient accounting system for the Chamber. Rich was also the driving force behind our successful dinner at Merion Golf Club ahead of the 2013 US Open.
In addition to his valuable work behind the scenes, with his strong ties to Ireland, Rich has been a familiar and welcoming face at countless Chamber events through the years. His support helped to shape the Chamber, and for that we are forever grateful. Go raibh math agat, Rich!
