St. Patrick's Day Parade Grand Marshal Jim Lamb

Congratulations to AOH 32 brother Jim Lamb who is the Grand Marshal of the 2007 St. Patrick's Day Parade in Pittsburgh!

Jim joined the Ireland Institute of Pittsburgh in January of 1992 as Director of Training. He was hired to manage the Institute's Internship Program for unemployed young adults from Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Prior to that he worked for seven years with abused and neglected youth and families at Try Again Homes, Inc. He held several positions there including Director of Foster Care and Director of Counseling Services. He also worked with disadvantaged populations at Goodwill Industries and the Northern Area Multi-Service Center.

Jim holds a Masters of Science in Education from Duquesne University and a Bachelor of Science from Pennsylvania State University. He serves on the board of the South Hills Interface Ministries and the international advisory board of Robert Morris University.

He is an advocate for reconciliation in Northern Ireland and economic development in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Western Pennsylvania. His background, working with disadvantaged populations locally and abroad, and his understanding of the ever-changing social, political, and economic challenges in Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Western Pennsylvania are important elements to his work at the Ireland Institute.

Jim, his wife, Ann Burns-Lamb, and son Ciaran reside in Pittsburgh.

Congratulations again Jim - you done us Carnegie boys proud!
