Join us for a special panel highlighting the voices of our lay leaders — members who help guide and sustain the Society’s programs, initiatives, and community life. Together they will reflect on what leadership means in our values-driven community, how their experiences embody our mission of inspiring ethical living and working for a more just world, and why shared leadership is central to our success. Panelists will also share some of their most formative experiences at the Ethical Society and discuss ways they believe our organization can continue to improve and evolve into the future.
This Platform will feature music by Eimear Arkins and Eileen Gannon. The duo has been lighting up the Irish music scene in St. Louis for the past several years. They have played numerous sold-out shows across the Midwest and beyond. Together they will perform a beautiful blend of haunting harp melodies, sean-nós songs, and plenty of toe-tapping dance tunes!
Eimear is an award-winning singer and fiddle player from County Clare with eleven solo Fleadh Cheoil na hÉireann (World Irish Music Championships) titles to her credit. She has performed throughout the U.S. and Ireland with acclaimed bands like Cherish The Ladies, Téada, and The Paul Brock Band. She has toured extensively with Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Éireann in Ireland, Britain, North America and Canada.

Most recently, Eimear has been awarded an artist fellowship from the Regional Arts Commission of St. Louis.
