During it’s AGM on 26th January the AEPI board unanimously appointed Brendan Howlin as the new President of AEPI and Els van Hoof as Vice-President. Former President John Corrie felt it was timely to step down from his role as President, but remain a member of the AEPI board.

Brendan Howlin brings over 40 years of political experience with him. Having started his pollical career as a Senator from 1983 to 1987, after being nominated by the Taoiseach and a Teachta Dála (TD) for the Wexford constituency from 1987 to 2024. During that time he served as Leader of the Irish Labour Party, Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, deputy leader of the Labour Party, Minister for the Environment and Minister for Health.

Brendan Howlin thanked the board for their trust in him and thanked John Corrie for his service to AEPI from it’s fledgling start until today. Without his leadership AEPI would not be where is today, an organisation he is happy to take the helm of.
