Virginie Durin

I am a mother of six children, ranging in age from 11 to 31. Over the years, I have traveled extensively throughout Europe with my children, which has deepened my commitment to fostering openness and embracing diversity. For the past 17 years, I have been an active volunteer with the Apel (Association of Parents of French Private Schools), where I currently serve as the president of Paris and a member of the national board. Our core mission is to support parents in their crucial role as the first and most important educators of their children.

Since 2025, Virginie is Treasurer of the European Parents’ Association (EPA), leading the organisation’s overall financial governance and strategy. She is responsible for budgeting, day-to-day accounting, financial planning, and balancing costs with revenue to ensure EPA’s long-term stability. Her role includes aligning EPA’s financial operations with EU grant requirements and the association’s strategic priorities.

Tasks: Provides high-level financial oversight, budgeting, and legal fiduciary duty. Supports the Project Coordinator and Secretary General on financial compliance. Chief liaison between the association and the expert accountant and auditing. Geographic Coordinator France and Benelux.
