Derry City and Strabane Representative Aeidin McCarter Joins ERNACT Board.
ERNACT is pleased to announce the appointment of Aeidin McCarter to its Board, representing Derry City and Strabane District Council. Aeidin takes up the role following the departure of Stephen Gillespie, who has served as a valued member of the Board since 2011.

Aeidin brings with her extensive experience in strategic planning and cross-border collaboration. Her appointment is warmly welcomed by the Board, and her expertise is expected to enhance ERNACT’s ability to deliver innovative and impactful digital initiatives across the regions it supports.

Chairperson, Councillor Jack Murray, said:
“We are delighted to welcome Aeidin McCarter to the Board and look forward to the insight and experience she brings. On behalf of the Board, I also wish to extend our appreciation to Stephen as he continues to support from the background.

The Board and management of ERNACT would like to express their sincere thanks to Stephen Gillespie for his 13 years of dedicated service. His contributions have been pivotal for cross-border cooperation through EU-funded projects.

Aeidin McCarter, newly appointed to the ERNACT board, said:
“I am delighted to join the board of ERNACT, having worked closely with the team for some time now including representing Derry City and Strabane District Council on the Interregional Management Committee (IMC). I am looking forward to supporting further success for ERNACT and its member organisations. I would like to thank my fellow board members and my predecessor Stephen Gillespie for his service to the board to date and for supporting my appointment as his successor”.

ERNACT looks forward to building on its strong track record of building strong regional partnerships while advancing its mission to deliver digital transformation through European cooperation.
