Thanks to our Retiring Chairperson

Dyslexia Ireland would like to sincerely thank Gráinne O’Rourke, who recently completed her six years (two terms) as the Chairperson of our Board (2020-2026).

Gráinne led the Board skilfully through these six years – steering the organisation through the pandemic and beyond. She brought real focus to our communications strategy and helped strengthen our advocacy capacity. We were so lucky to have someone with her depth of expertise across higher education, communications, fundraising and the not-for-profit sectors.

We want to express our deepest gratitude for her years of dedicated voluntary service, both at Board and sub-committee level. Her creativity, insight and unwavering commitment to the cause have left a lasting legacy, and her absence will be felt.

Thank you for everything you’ve contributed, Gráinne. Dyslexia Ireland is in a better place because of you. We now look forward to moving ahead under the stewardship of our new Board Chairperson, Bruce Curtis.
