Donegal ETB has announced that board member Geoffrey Browne has been elected as Chairperson, while Cllr Rena Donaghey was elected Deputy Chairperson today.

Twenty-one representatives have been appointed to the Board of the largest education and training provider in the county.

The new Board is made up of twelve elected representatives, two staff, two parents, two local industry and three sectoral interest representatives.

Speaking about his election as Chairperson, Geoffrey Browne said, ‘I am delighted to be elected to this important role with Donegal ETB. It is the largest education and training provider in the county, managing fifteen out of the twenty-seven post-primary schools and is the largest provider of Further Education and Training (FET). It also manages Gartan Outdoor Education and Training Centre, the Donegal Music Education Partnership and has legal responsibilities for youth work. In 2018 almost 26,000 students and learners availed of education and training through Donegal ETB. I look forward to supporting the staff of the ETB to continue this important work.’
