The Irish Men’s Shed Association (IMSA) has announced Enda Egan as its newly-appointed Chief Executive Officer.
A native of Offaly, Mr Egan has over 22 years’ experience in the community and voluntary sector, 16 of those at CEO level across three organisations. A natural leader, he has a proven track record of increasing the reach and effectiveness of the organisations under his management through powerful advocacy, dynamic profile building and the development and consolidation of financial sustainability, a statement from the IMSA said.
Mr Egan joins the IMSA from his role of CEO of Inclusion Ireland, the national organisation representing Ireland’s 66,000 people with intellectual disabilities and their families.
Austen Burns laughingly calls his online help service for the disabled and the elderly Tinder for Carers, as he matches people in need with the professionals they require to assist them.
The 30-year-old Warrenpoint man who has cerebral palsy knows from personal experience all about the difficulties of accessing the right care and he s using his IT skills to pioneer his new online facility which has already given support to hundreds of people.
Friends say that Austen, whose restricted mobility sees him using a walking frame, has never wilted under his disability and his indomitable spirit has led him to become a champion horse rider who s been part of the Irish Paralympic equestrian squad.
