Some of the Committee’s main functions include:

  • Governance and financial management
  • Employment of senior staff
  • Review of policies
  • Major decision making and organisational direction
  • Ensuring we meet statutory and regulatory requirements

    Secretary: 17th September 2025

    I was born in Govan, in Garmouth St. One of my earliest memories is being taken to see the smoking ruins of Govan High School.

    In 1979 I started working for Glasgow Council Housing Department and ended up as a Housing Officer in Drumoyne. I worked for the Council for 13 years and then left to form my own training business. I have been training Housing staff throughout the UK for the last 31 years. I have just recently completed an SQA Level 8 which allows me to be an Assessor for Housing Qualifications. My particular interests are in Asset Management and I hope to make a good contribution to the Board whilst learning more about the Association.

    “I have been a tenant since 2017 and seeing the positive impact of the Association has on residents has inspired me to contribute in a more active way, to bring my perspective to the Committee.
    I am currently studying architecture and I have a strong interest in housing solutions. Good homes shape good lives and strong communities create happy neighbourhoods. I hope my knowledge and skills can contribute to making this an even better place to live.”
