Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi will travel to Dublin to receive the 2024 Sutherland Leadership Award

Speaker Emerita Pelosi has been announced as the recipient of the Sutherland Leadership Award and will receive this special recognition at a Gala Dinner in Dublin on Monday, April 22nd in the company of over 600 international, business, political and social leaders.

Ireland INC is delighted to be presenting this very special occasion, which will take place at O’Reilly Hall, University College Dublin, Belfield, Dublin. In addition, we are delighted that our longstanding partners KPMG are supporting this event and continue to recognise excellence as part of their enduring partnership with the Business & Finance Programme.

Pelosi will accept the Sutherland Leadership Award in recognition of an outstanding contribution to leadership and public life in a career spanning four decades.

Throughout her time in Congress, Pelosi, first elected in 1987, continuously broke barriers for women through her House leadership roles. She was voted the first female House minority whip in 2001, the first female minority leader in 2002 and first female speaker of the House in 2007. With that last victory, Pelosi became the highest-ranking woman in U.S. history at the time, eclipsing Madeleine Albright, a secretary of state under former President Bill Clinton.

Pelosi has been instrumental in advancing key policies in healthcare, climate change, economic reform, and has consistently promoted equality throughout her time in politics. In 2013, she was inducted into the National Women’s Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Seneca Falls, the birthplace of the American women’s rights movement.

Ian Hyland, President and Publisher of Business & Finance and President of Ireland INC, said: “I am particularly delighted that Speaker Emerita Pelosi will accept the Sutherland Leadership Award as part of a program that has recognised some of the most outstanding leaders of our time including President Clinton, President Ursula von der Leyen, Senator George Mitchell, Sir John Major, President Mary Robinson, and President Zelenskyy. We are very much looking forward to honouring the Speaker Emerita with this very special recognition in the company of over 600 International business, political and social leaders on Monday April 22nd.”
