Meet the current Board
Welcome to Speech and Drama Teachers of Ireland.
As a non-for-profit organisation, run by a dedicated voluntary board, we were formed to encourage and promote the highest standards of teaching within the Speech and Drama field, to connect teachers of communication, performance and life skills and to act as a voice for the profession.
