Robert J. Brennan, Former AIFS President and CEO
 
It is with great sadness that AIFS has learned of the passing of Robert J Brennan on Thursday, February 21st, 2008 and pays tribute to its former President and CEO.

The thoughts and prayers of the AIFS family worldwide are with his wife Helen, sons Kevin and Bob and the entire Brennan family.

From William Gertz, President and CEO of AIFS:

"Bob led AIFS through a period of expansion. He was instrumental in working with congress to enable our Au Pair program to be permanently designated and in many other projects to expand the number of students and teachers who participate in AIFS programs around the world.

His good humor, energy and generosity will long be remembered by those of us who worked with him to fulfill the mission of AIFS to bring the world together."
