More than a membership:

A stronger connection starts with you.

The Alliance provides an opportunity to become part of a growing community of professionals who are building meaningful connections between Ireland and North Carolina. As an Alliance member, you gain access to a network that extends beyond the people you happen to meet at an event. You have opportunities to build relationships with fellow members, connect directly with Alliance leadership, and become part of the work we are doing to strengthen the Ireland–North Carolina business community.

Join The Alliance. Expand your network. Strengthen the Ireland-North Carolina connection.

Membership that moves us forward

When you join The Alliance, you're gaining more than just benefits. You're becoming part of the community helping strengthen the relationship between Ireland and North Carolina.
 

Every member adds something, whether it's a new perspective, a professional connection, an introduction, or an opportunity.

 

Your membership helps us bring those people together and create more meaningful engagements across industries and borders.​ It also helps us grow the programs, resources, and initiatives that make those connections possible.

 

The stronger our network becomes, the more we can do to support the professionals and organizations invested in the Ireland–North Carolina relationship.

When you join The Alliance, you're investing in your own network while helping create a stronger one for everyone.

Your membership includes:

1

Exclusive Members-Only Networking Reception

Members receive access to an exclusive networking reception held specifically for our membership community.

 

Unlike our other events, this gathering is reserved for members and designed to create a more focused environment for building relationships.

 

It is an opportunity to spend meaningful time with fellow members, The Alliance's leadership, and others invested in the Ireland–North Carolina connection.

2

Access to The Alliance Member Directory

Members will have exclusive access to a member directory featuring participating members who choose to share their contact information.

The directory is currently being developed and will provide an additional way for members to discover professionals within The Alliance, learn about their work, and make new connections.

As our membership grows, so does the value of the network.

Membership Welcome Package

Every new member receives a welcome package featuring branded items and other resources to officially welcome you to the Alliance.
