As desired by its founder Lillias Mitchell, the Golden Fleece Award is managed by a Board of Trustees including both family members and experts in finance management and the arts. They are: her niece Geraldine Mitchell and great-nieces Lucie Campos Mitchell and Lisa Molina; independent consultants Christine O'Donovan and Deirdre Dunne; and visual arts specialist Belinda Quirke (Artistic Director, Solstice Arts Centre).
The Trustees work closely with the specialist Advisory Panel who draw up the annual shortlist for their consideration. They have final responsibility for the management of the trust fund set up by Lillias and for the allocation of the available Award money each year.
Past Trustees (2002-2021)
Previous members of the Board of Trustees are Stephen Hamilton (original Chair of the Board and a solicitor at A&L Goodbody who worked closely with Lillias to draw up her Will); Aileen Keogan (past Chair of the Golden Fleece Trust's Board who assisted Lillias in preparing the Trust Deed, also through A&L); Lillias' nieces Lucy Mitchell and Rosamond Mitchell; and Barbara Cotter (past Golden Fleece Trust Chair and former senior partner at A&L Goodbody).
