Our Leadership Team
Members of the Board are appointed by Scottish Ministers and have a collective responsibility for the proper conduct of SDS affairs.
They are not appointed as representatives of individual organisations and are expected to use the experience and knowledge gained in their own careers when taking decisions on behalf of SDS.
The members are drawn from a range of backgrounds in the private and public sectors.
