  1. 3) All this has been achieved in less than two years despite the legacy of past problems and staffing limited to outstanding young interns. It is beyond disappointing to hear that the current board appears to be engaging in some of the same nonproductive behaviors as previous boards' past. AIHS is now valued because of Elizabeth Stack's leadership; her loss would shred hard-earned organization credibility.

  3. 1) I’ve been involved with #AIHS in a number of voluntary capacities for the better part of 10 years and this news is deeply disappointing. An extraordinary and unnecessary self inflicted wound by a board apparently bent on repeating past mistakes

    I think it’s an important conversation which requires learnings from #IrishDiaspora folks and the Irish of Ireland.

    Ireland is really in the first inning of understanding the importance of its diaspora and how best to cultivate it so that it’s mutually beneficial to the country and those who live off shore. There is a great opportunity for win-win outcomes but some think about the nature of these relationships needs to done

    I think there is an uncomfortable reality experienced by many foreign born residents when on the receiving end of the “your not really Irish” designation

    Frequently, those encounters are couched in humorous terms, but at root is a certain resentment and anger that is connected to Ireland’s ugly past when those left behind felt both abandoned and dependent on the largess of their emigrant cousins.
