Representatives of the leadership of the London Chapter, LAI had a very successful meeting in Belfast, Northern Ireland on Friday, May 30, 2008. Six of twelve new land economics professionals from Northern Ireland were inducted into Lambda Alpha International as members-at-large. Those were who unable to attend the inaugural luncheon will receive their documentation, shortly, either in person or by mail.
All those present, both existing and new members, expressed a strong desire to work toward an all Irish Chapter of LAI with separate branches proposed for Belfast and Dublin. Details are being investigated by the chapter members with the assistance of the LAI headquarters’ leadership.
In preparation for the creation of an Irish Chapter, Denis Myles has agreed to serve as President. Denis (FIRCS Dip, Prop. Inv. MCI ARB MEWI) is Managing Director of Myles Danker, Belfast and thus well known through out Irish business circles and uniquely suited to the task of steering the course for the Irish Chapter to come into being.
Prospective holders of other lead offices who have agreed to serve are: Roland O'Connell (Savills HOK, Dublin) as Vice President, Graeme Johnston (Belfast Harbour Commissioners, Belfast) as Treasurer and Conor McKernan (Douglas Wallace of both Belfast and Dublin) as Hon Secretary. These future incumbents truly are outstanding professionals in their respective fields of endeavor and worthy of the “honorary” distinction as a member of Lambda Alpha International.
The push is now on to recruit more members form both Dublin and Belfast with the objective of securing chapter status in Toronto in October of 2008.
The members of the London Chapter and all Lambda Alpha International take great pride in welcoming our Irish colleagues on board.
