Since 2013, Anne has served as Ireland's 17th Ambassador to the United
States, the first woman to serve in this role. She has done much to
further the close relationship long shared between the United States
and Ireland. My great-grandparents were Irish immigrants, settling in
Vermont, where I was born and raised. I have long been aware of the
contributions Irish immigrants make to our Nation. Ambassador Anderson first represented her Ireland's interests in the
United States in 1983, when she became the Embassy of Ireland's
economic attache and then press attache. After moving back to Ireland
in 1987, she served as counsellor in the Anglo-Irish division of the
Department of Foreign Affairs and then became Assistant Secretary
General in Corporate Services.
