The Irish-American Business Chamber & Network will commemorate on this Thursday the signing of the Good Friday Agreement with a special hybrid event featuring Professor Monica McWilliams at its Women in Leadership Luncheon.
McWilliams was the co-founder of the Northern Ireland Women’s Coalition political party and was elected to a seat at the Multi-Party Peace Negotiations, which led to the Belfast (Good Friday) Peace Agreement in 1998. She served as a member of the Northern Ireland Legislative Assembly from 1998-2003 and the Northern Ireland Forum for Dialogue and Understanding from 1996-1998.
“Women As Peacemakers: The Good Friday Agreement, 25 Years On” is co-hosted by Villanova University Center for Irish Studies and Anne Welsh McNulty Institute for Women’s Leadership.
Registration and networking will begin at the Inn at Villanova, 601 County Line Road, Radnor, Pa., at 11:30 a.m.; lunch service will be at noon, while those joining virtually will tune in at 12:30. For more information about registration and speakers, go to https://iabcn.org.
