Leaders in Athletics Conference – booking form

scottishathletics are pleased to confirm we will host our first ever gathering of Club Chairs and Presidents at our Leaders in Athletics Conference.

The date for diaries is Saturday 22 June and the venue will be the Stirling Court Hotel at the University of Stirling – with the event to run from 10am through to 2.30pm.

Jack McConnell, the Honorary President of scottishathletics and the former First Minister, is one of our key speakers on a programme we feel is ideally suited for club leaders from around Scotland.

Chief executive Mark Munro will also address the gathering and speak to our current strategy ‘Building a Culture of Success’.

‘We are delighted to be bringing together Chairs and Presidents from across Scotland to network, learn and discuss our roles as leaders in athletics in Scotland,’ said Mark.

‘As well as having the opportunity to link with staff and other Chairs and Presidents, we are pleased to be hearing on the day from the Rt Hon Lord Jack McConnell and Guy Richardson (CEO and Founder, Eiger Performance) about leadership, influencing and forming successful cultures.

‘I think it is a great learning opportunity and we hope for a good response from the club community.’

The Leaders in Athletics Conference is open to all club Chairs and Presidents and the full agenda is out-lined below.

Colin Hutchison, Head of Development, said: ‘It is great to have the opportunity to bring such an influential group of people together to talk about their role and about athletics in Scotland.

‘We already have our annual National Club Conference and education programme. However we feel this event is unique to a particular role in the clubs and we’re certain it will be a valuable learning and networking event for all our club Chairs and Presidents.’
