We’re delighted to share the news that Acquired Brain Injury Ireland Chief Executive, Dr Karen Foley, has been appointed as Chair of the National Disability Services Association (NDSA).

The NDSA represents a network of some of the largest national providers of disability services in the community across Ireland, and has a strong reputation as leaders in the disability sector.

The association works across the widest range of community services, including education, training, personal assistance, community day care, employment, residential, respite and rehabilitation. It works with and for people across all ages, abilities and backgrounds.

Acquired Brain Injury Ireland joined the NDSA as a new member earlier this year.

Karen takes up the role from former NDSA Chair, Barry McGinn. The NDSA thanked Barry for his dedicated leadership and service in the role.

Karen looks forward to working with NDSA members and stakeholders across the sector to build on this momentum, deepen collaboration, and champion ambitious, person-centred disability services nationwide.
