Chair of College Management Council elected

Kirkwall east councillor, John Ross Scott has been elected as chair of the local College Management Council.

Councillor Scott thanked the other members for putting him forward at their meeting held at Orkney College UHI this afternoon, and commented: “I will take this role very seriously and look forward to it.”

Following councillor Scott’s election the College Management Council opted to defer the appointment of a vice chair until their next meeting, in November, to allow for the appointment of more public members to the council.
