Scottish Women in Business (SWIB), which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary, has made changes to its leadership committee.
In addition to some changes in roles, there have been three additional committee members to the existing eight.
Bayile Adeoti, director of Dechomai, who was the previous vice president, now moves into the role of president, taking the reigns from Tracy Scott, co-founder of XeyeX, who has led SWIB for several years.
Adeoti commented: “In this challenging economic climate, women’s networking groups are integral to economic recovery and growth, without forgetting the positive impact of a great support system.
“My priority is to ensure that SWIB continues to be sustainable, commercially viable network that meets the needs of its members and future members.”
She is supported by Sarah Heaney from the Glasgow Chamber of Commerce as vice president, along with the following committee members: Lynn Gibb of RBC Brewin Dolphin, Leanne Scobie of Virgin Hotels, Laurie MacPherson of Laurie MacPherson, Hazel McBride of Hazel McBride UK, Katie Gilmour of Advantage Accounting (Scotland), Heather Offord of One4Growth, Natalie O’Hare of Beyond HR, Clare Baillie of Star Consultancy, and Katy Morrison of Connect Three.
The new committee also sought to recognise the contributions of Zaynab Al Nasser, associate at Turcan Connell, who was part of SWIB for more than six years - and at one point was president.
SWIB is a networking club for women in and around Glasgow - from sole traders and charities to corporate high-fliers and everything in between - organising regular events to share experiences and learn new skills.
