The new depute leader of Renfrewshire Council hopes she can be a role model for young women who are considering pursuing a career in politics.
Councillor Jacqueline Cameron, an SNP rep for Johnstone South and Elderslie, was elected to the position after May's local government election, replacing predecessor Councillor Jim Paterson.
The elected member is the first female to have taken on the role since retired Liberal-Democrat councillor Eileen McCartin did the job from 2007 to 2012.
