Meetings and Activities.

The aim of the Association is to act as a forum for continuing professional development for its 100-strong membership. The Association organises a series of private dinner meetings each year. These meetings are addressed by prominent people in business, political, educational and social areas, both in Ireland and elsewhere, on various topics of interest and relevance to members. These dinner meetings, which are the core of the FEA's activities, have proved successful with members, as they provide a forum for hearing the views of well-known speakers on an informal, off-the-record basis.
