Organized by

The Irish American Archives Society was formed in 1994 to preserve and present information about the history of the Irish in Cleveland. IAAS is a not-for profit organization that sponsors a newsletter, website, podcast, talks, displays, publications, and heritage events and supports the collection and preservation of papers, documents, photographs and memorabilia of individuals and families of Irish descent and the records of organizations and institutions that have influenced the growth and development of the Irish American community in northeast Ohio.

The Walks of Life Award dinner is the signature program of the Irish American Archives Society. Bestowed annually* since 1997, the Walks of Life Awards recognize living Clevelanders and northeast Ohioans of Irish descent whose attainments in their chosen and diverse Walks of Life have been truly remarkable and stand as an inspiration to others. The awards preserve for posterity a record of their achievement in the fields of business, safety services, justice and government, the Church, the manufacturing and the building trades, social services, philanthropy, entertainment, and education.

*The dinner was not offered in 2021 due to the pandemic.
