Tuesday, 12 March 2024: Limerick Chamber has today confirmed that it has accepted the resignation of its Chief Executive Dee Ryan, following her decision to put her name forward for the upcoming election to appoint Limerick’s first Directly Elected Mayor.
Ms Ryan leaves the post after almost six years in the role during which time she helped steer Limerick Chamber and its members through one of the most challenging and transformational periods in the Chamber’s recent history, Chamber President Noel Gavin stated.
“For over 200 years, Limerick Chamber has been dedicated to creating an ecosystem within which businesses in the Mid-West can thrive. In her tenure as CEO, Dee Ryan steered the Chamber during the tumultuous COVID period, when the business community was plunged into grave uncertainty overnight, as well as across a range of key policy issues of critical importance to the membership and the region. We wish her all the best in her future endeavours.” Stated Noel Gavin, Limerick Chamber President.
Said Dee Ryan, “I have been privileged to hold the post of Limerick Chamber CEO for almost six years. Limerick Chamber plays a pivotal and essential role in advancing the economy of this city, county and region. I’ve been fortunate in my time as CEO to work with and be inspired by many brilliant people, from my own team to successive boards and Presidents of Limerick Chamber and other business leaders. I look forward to watching this great organization thrive into the future as it continues to give stellar leadership to the Limerick business community and wish my successor the very best on their appointment.”
Mr Gavin also confirmed that pending the process to appoint Ms Ryan’s replacement, the Chamber is committed to continuing to supporting its members, and delivering on its mission, through the drive of the energetic Chamber team and active board. As an apolitical organisation, he stated that the Chamber would like to take the opportunity to wish all the candidates for the historical Directly Elected Mayor role well in the forthcoming election.
Dee will remain in place for a four week period to ensure an orderly handover during this transition phase.
