Celebrating Our Re-Elected Board Members

The Phoenix St. Patrick’s Day Parade & Faire Committee is proud to announce the re-election of several valued members of our Board of Directors. As we look ahead to the 43rd Annual Parade and Faire on March 14, 2026, we’re grateful for the continued service and leadership of these individuals who help bring the event to life each year.

At our June 10th board meeting, the following members were officially re-elected:

• Jeff Aspland – President

• Maureen Cionci – Secretary

• Mallory Melton – Faire Chair

• Leo Archer – Board Member

Each of these individuals has played a vital role in organizing and growing one of Arizona’s most beloved cultural celebrations. Their passion for Irish heritage and commitment to the community has helped shape the event into what it is today — a day of family fun, music, dance, and vibrant Irish pride in the heart of downtown Phoenix.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Janice Ryan Bryson, who announced she will be stepping down from the board to make room for new leadership. Janice has been a driving force behind the event for many years, and we’re grateful she will continue to stay involved and share her wisdom as a mentor and committee member.

With this team in place, and the support of our incredible volunteers, partners, and sponsors, we are already hard at work planning next year’s Parade and Faire. We look forward to continuing this tradition of community, culture, and celebration — and we invite you to be part of it.

Sláinte to another great year ahead!
