THE ANNA MAY DRISCOLL FOUNDATION

The Anna May Driscoll Foundation was set up to commemorate the work that Anna May Driscoll pioneered in leadership in the corporate and voluntary sectors. In particular it promotes the development of the concept of Responsibility Based Leadership™ which Anna May devised together with her partner Damien Dyar. This concept has been central to enriching the lives of people at work while at the same time improving the performance of their organisations.

The Foundation will award educational bursaries to junior managers and all staff in private, voluntary and public sector organisations. Bursary amounts will be decided annually and will be made available on the 21st June in each year.

Initial Award Announcement: University Hospitals Galway 2009
The initial bursary is made available to the oncology nursing staff at University Hospital, Galway, Ireland. The 2009 award will be given to one member of the nursing staff who has shown outstanding Responsibility Based Leadership™ in the opinion of her/his colleagues.

Anna May Driscoll was under the nursing care of the staff at University College Hospital Galway when she died on 21st June 2007, so it is fitting that the award in her memory should firstly be offered to members of the nursing staff of University Hospitals Galway.
