Ms. Ryan knows that housing and transport have always been hot topics that need to be addressed, and she is looking forward to continuing to tackle these issues as Galway Chamber President while putting them in front of key decision-makers.
Working Together, the Aim

“I will aim to work closely with the executive team under the exceptional leadership of Galway Chamber CEO Kenny Deery to develop a comprehensive digital marketing strategy to promote the phenomenal work of the Chamber team and the wider council, and indeed the work of our members,” Ms. Ryan said.
“In an ever-evolving business landscape, it’s crucial that we encourage innovation and the ability to adapt to change. We will support initiatives that drive technological advancements and sustainability, ensuring our members remain at the forefront of their industries,” she added.
A Local and Global Focus
Ms. Ryan intends to use her year as Galway Chamber President to consistently back local business through a variety of supports. Plus, she aims to promote not only local growth of businesses, but also build on the international investment that the city has brought in during recent times.
“We will continue to give our members opportunities to network, creating opportunities for meaningful partnerships and collaborations that drive mutual growth while also providing educational resources, workshops, and training programs to equip our members with the skills and knowledge they need to excel in their respective industries.”
“Galway’s potential extends beyond our borders. We will explore opportunities to expand our international presence and connect with global markets, opening doors for our local businesses to reach new horizons. To build on what’s been an exception couple of years in attracting global investment into our beautiful city,” Galway Chamber President Ms. Ryan said.
