Directors UK Scotland meeting this evening

Reading time: 2 minutes and 40 seconds

We’re pleased to announce Karen Kelly as the newly elected rep for Scotland, serving the needs for directors living and working in the region.

This evening, she will be hosting an informal meet-up for Scottish directors at the Grosvenor Cafe in Glasgow, and as a member we urge you to meet with Karen and share any issues you may have around pay, working conditions, job opportunities, contracts or any other pressing concerns.

As your regional rep, she will relay these back to the Board so that Directors UK can collectively take action on these issues. Karen will also have an influence on campaigns related to pay, diversity and gender and where necessary will be the voice for Scotland when contributing to them.

Come along to share your views and exchange ideas over some drinks with your fellow directors at 2016’s first general meeting of Directors UK Scotland. We will be discussing the current issues concerning directors in Scotland as well as giving you all an update from the most recent Board meeting.
