IABCN Member of the Month

November Member of the Month: Áine Scibelli 

Originally from Northern Ireland, Áine has called both Dublin and Philadelphia home – a true reflection of the transatlantic spirit that defines our Chamber. A graduate of St. Patrick’s College, Maynooth and Technological University Dublin, Áine brings a wonderful mix of Irish heart and global perspective to everything she does.

This year, she has given so generously of her time and talent, playing a huge role in our branding and website refresh. Her insight, creativity, and heart have helped us tell the IABCN story in a more vibrant, authentic way.

Anyone who’s worked with Áine knows she’s impactful, collaborative, and endlessly dedicated – strategic and forward-thinking, yet so generous, kind, and full of heart. She brings energy, creativity, and joy to everything she touches, and we’re so lucky to have her as part of the IABCN family.

With a career that includes leadership roles at Spark Therapeutics and Teva Pharmaceuticals, we’re also thrilled tocongratulate her on her new role with Acadia Pharmaceuticals as Sr. Director, Consumer Marketing – an exciting next chapter for someone who brings such passion and positivity to everything she does.

Please join us in celebrating Áine and thanking her for all she brings to our Chamber and to the broader Philly-Ireland community!

Congratulations to Ireland’s Own – Bill McLaughlin

Bill McLaughlin, Irish Chamber Founder and Chairman Emeritus, is now an Irish Citizen!

Notification from the Ireland’s Department of Foreign Affairs is the culmination of a lengthy process made possible by the births of his mother’s parents Mary Murtaugh and Thomas Byrne in County Mayo.  His grandfather died before he was born but his grandmother lived with Bill and his family in Delaware County until she passed when he was 13.  This distinction comes just ahead of Bill’s 80thbirthday this week on February 26 and could not be a more meaningful or timely celebration. According to Bill, “I always knew in my heart and soul that I’m Irish, and I have no doubt my Grandmom and Mom would be very proud and thrilled for me.”
