Trustee opportunity - Clackmannanshire Women's Aid
Clackmannanshire Women's Aid (CWA) is looking for trustees to join their board to help shape the charity's strategic direction and oversee good governance of the organisation.
Criteria
Requirements are set out in detail in the Role profile on the CWA website.
Commitment
The Board of Trustees will initially meet every 4-6 weeks, generally at the office of CWA in Alloa. Once the Board is established with new members, the intent is to reduce the frequency to quarterly meetings.
The Trustees may also meet on other occasions to discuss specific items of business or attend training. There will, from time to time, be opportunities for Trustees to join sub-groups such as Fundraising and Finance which may meet outwith the main Board meetings.
Trustees are asked for a commitment of at least one year from completion of their induction.
Remuneration
These are unpaid positions.

Updated privacy policy
When is data protection exciting?? Sounds unlikely...
...
but
when it's all part of our preparations for the amazing SWIB Awards 2019, that's when!
We've updated our privacy policy to make sure that the awards are covered. You'll find it here: https://www.scottishwomeninbusiness.org.uk/content/privacy/.
PS we made a few other minor tweaks as well, mostly to clarify policy around information held on suppliers and volunteers
Can you help? Looking for speakers...
Glasgow University Business Club is a student-run organisation that provides the academic, professional and social opportunities for students to form a strong business network.
In the upcoming autumn semester, the society is organising an Industry Insight Programme, which is designed to help inform students' future academic progression and career choices by developing an understanding of the key trends and operations of major industry streams.
For this programme, they plan to organise a series of guest talks and workshops that bridge theory and practice, and are wondering if any swib members or friends could help? They want to find industry professionals who are willing to go along for an evening and share their work experience and their industry expertise with them.
The programme takes place in October and November. The events are scheduled fortnightly starting from Tuesday, 2nd October 2018 (which does need a guest speaker). The events usually last for 1-2 hours and will take place after 5.30pm in the evening (timing can be flexible to suit the speaker).
They are particularly looking for a CSR/Sustainability professional in the energy industry and a Supply Chain & Logistics expert, but would be more than happy to hear from anyone who would be willing to join the programme.
For each event, they provide the location, IT equipment and everything else that the guest speaker may needs. In addition, all programme participants will be invited to a free networking dinner at the end of November.
If you are interested in helping, please contact Lisa at gubusinessclub@gmail.com.
Do please pass this on to anyone you know who might be able to help.
New SCDI report published
SCDI has published its Connectivity Commission report, catchily titled "Scotland’s Big Mo: Industrial Strategy, Inclusive Growth and the Future of Mobility".
The
Commission focused on transformative changes within the transport market,
particularly due to digitalisation and decarbonisation, and the potential
implications of new technologies for connectivity in Scotland. Its remit was land transport, but the report recognises that changes are taking place
across all forms of transport.
The momentum of change in mobility will only accelerate,
and Scotland has the potential to be a location for key innovations. The report makes recommendations for Government, industry and regulators on the
opportunities and challenges from changes in supply and demand, so that all
parts of Scotland can benefit - economically, socially and environmentally -
from a world-class connectivity system.
You'll find the report on the SCDI website.
SWIB's privacy policy has changed - UPDATE
In order to comply with the new General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), we've updated our privacy policy to be clear about what information we hold, why and how long for.
We've made some changes too. For example, we've reduced the amount of information that we have to hold for members in order to service your membership. You'll find the new policy here.
UPDATE:
We asked members and mailing list subscribers to confirm their consent for us holding the optional information we hold. For those who did not reply by the deadline, your information has now been deleted!
For mailing list subscribers, it's easy to re-subscribe - just sign up here.
For members, if you didn't reply, we now hold only the basic information needed to service your membership.
