Membership
Open to everyone, we welcome all people from all backgrounds. Irish expats, the diaspora, and local friends who want a bit of Irish. Our diverse network connects you across Seattle’s premier industries and to the richness of Ireland.
Why Join as a Paid Member?
While not required to attend public events, supporting with paid memberships provide reliable resources that pay for inclusive programming and builds a stronger community. All membership fees and contributions are tax deductible. Paid membership perks include:
- Industry Connections: Network with professionals across diverse Seattle sectors.
- Ticket Discounts: Save money on event tickets.
- Exclusive Access: Attend member-only gatherings.
- Early Access: Snap up tickets before the public.
- Business Perks: Business Members get extra perks to connect with the community.
Free Membership
A free membership provides access to our newsletter and WhatsApp group. Most people start with a free membership/newsletter subscription, attend an event, and join as a paid member when they’re ready to support or get more involved.
Community & Craic
Contribute on a Committee
Want to get involved beyond membership? Our all volunteer organization continuously needs help with tasks that keep things operational. Various ways to help are:
- Marketing & Communications: Help us get the word out about events, post to social media, update this website, and make sure the community is aware of all the ways to connect.
- IT & Technical Infrastructure: Technology is great when it works, and can cause friction when it's not doing the job. If you have tech skills or are comfortable with digging into our tech stack to solve or improve systems we'd love to hear from you.
- Event Coordination: Help by coordinating event venues, sourcing vendor bids, catering, music, photography, and anything else that might be needed for a successful event.
- Grant Writing: A portion of our funding comes from grant awards. We are always looking for new opportunities and have grants we annually apply for to sustain our operations.
All committee members are supported and report to a board member. If you are interested in joining the board, starting as a committee member is a great pathway to a board position. Please email info@irishnetworkseattle.org to get started.
Irish Network USA
Part of Irish Network USA, our members can connect with other chapters in the United States and take advantage of our direct relationships in Ireland.
