You are invited to join us for an evening of connection and inspiration at the 2026 Speaker Series on Tuesday, September 22nd. Network with other young professionals passionate about Ireland and its future, and hear from our guest speaker, Paul Caskey OBE, CEO of the Integrated Education Fund (IEF).

In Northern Ireland’s educational landscape, Integrated Education is a cause at the center of progress. Integrated education brings together children, teachers, and governors from Catholic, Protestant, and other backgrounds into a single school with the goal to encourage mixing and mutual respect in a historically segregated education system. As a longtime supporter of the Integrated Education Fund, the Partnership supports the establishment of new integrated schools that weave a fabric of understanding across generational and cultural lines.

Paul Caskey was Head of Campaign for over 24 years before being appointed as Chief Executive of the IEF in July 2024. A graduate of Queen’s University Belfast and Trinity College Dublin, where he completed a Master’s Degree in Peace Studies, Paul has worked in the nonprofit sector for over 30 years. In June 2021, Paul received an OBE in the Queen’s Birthday Honors List for services to education.
