“Each year the Irish Business Association recognizes a broad slice of the New Jersey business community with Irish roots,” said Thomas Farrell, a wealth advisor at PWM Advisory Group and IBA president. “There are 1.3 million New Jersey residents claiming Irish descent and Irish-Americans are found in every corner of commerce and community. This year’s honorees reflect both the breadth of the Irish in our state and the widening footprint of the IBA. Congratulations to each of them.”
The Irish Business Association is an association of New Jersey business professionals and business owners launched in March 2008, committed to promoting business relationships and personal interaction within the Irish-American business community in New Jersey, based on a shared heritage. The IBA is part of the Gateway Regional Chamber of Commerce, the largest business association in the New York/Northern New Jersey Region, comprising 14 regional and local chambers.
