Completion of the Irish Funds 2025 Working Groups Selection

Irish Funds is delighted to share an update following the recent call for Working Group nominations. The response was exceptional, and all successful nominees have now been advised.

With 90% of Member Firms participating, every nominating firm is represented. More than 1,000 nominations were submitted for 770 positions, highlighting strong engagement and trust in the process. See key facts of the Working Group nominations. 

The 2025 structure enables Irish Funds to anticipate regulatory and operational developments, strengthen thought leadership, and deliver targeted outcomes across key industry themes, while ensuring a strong and representative voice for our membership.

The Executive led a thorough, multi-stage selection process, including collaborative engagement with Council. This approach ensured rigor, fairness, and strategic alignment.

While some Working Groups were heavily oversubscribed and not all nominations could be accommodated, we remain committed to transparency. Working Group activities and outputs will be shared with the wider membership. We encourage you to explore the new Irish Funds Member Portal, where each Working Group has a dedicated interactive page. Sign up to the Member Portal.

We recently hosted a briefing session for newly appointed Chairs and Vice Chairs ahead of group meetings which will commence at the end of September. Notably, 69% of Chair roles are newly appointed, bringing fresh perspectives, while 31% return to provide continuity.

A sincere thank you to all outgoing Working Group participants and Chairs for their exceptional contribution in driving the Association’s strategic agenda over the past two years.
