Loretta Brennan Glucksman
A third generation Irish-American, Loretta Brennan Glucksman grew up in an Irish community in Pennsylvania. She is a noted philanthropist and, together with her late husband Lewis, has raised millions for Ireland. She has served as Chairman of the American Ireland Fund since 1995 and spearheaded the Fund’s successful “Hope & History” $100 million campaign.
Loretta serves as the Chairman of The American Ireland Fund. She is Co-Chair of Glucksman Ireland House, the center for Irish Studies at New York University, which she and Lewis established in 1993. Mr & Mrs Glucksman also established the Glucksman Chair of Irish and Scottish Studies at the University of Aberdeen. In 2007, University College Cork saw the official opening of the Lewis Glucksman Gallery, a wonderful new space for visual art in Ireland.
She was appointed by former Taoiseach, Bertie Ahern, to the Board of the Industrial Development Agency. She also serves on numerous other boards including The National Gallery of Ireland, Trinity College, University College Cork and the Royal College of Surgeons.
Earlier in her career, Mrs Glucksman was a producer for news and public affairs with PBS-TV. She was also a lecturer in English literature at several universities.
