Nollaig na mBan

Women's Leadership Celebration - Chicago

Honoree

7th President of Ireland, & Chair of The Elders

MARY ROBINSON

Nollaig na mBan [Women’s Christmas], is held each year in January throughout Ireland to celebrate women’s leadership within the family and community. The Irish American Partnership commemorates this tradition with a celebration event highlighting Irish and Irish-American female leaders and the positive impact they have worldwide.

This January, we are honored to welcome the 7th President of Ireland and first female to hold this office, former United Nations High Commissioner of Human Rights, and Founding member and Chair of The Elders, Mary Robinson.

A passionate advocate for gender equality, women’s participation in peacebuilding, human dignity and climate justice, Mary Robinson is a globally recognized voice on climate change and frequently highlights the need for drastic action from world leaders. As President of Ireland (1990-1997), Mary Robinson has been credited with transforming the role with a presidency of inclusiveness, equality and peace-building, and with creating an important dialogue about Ireland and the Irish Diaspora.

Mary Robinson will be interviewed by Partnership Ambassador and Editor-In-Chief of Glamour, Samantha Barry. Join us on January 11 for a celebration of a true vanguard of women’s leadership.
