New SOA Directors

I’m very pleased to announce that Marsela McLeod (INVOC) is the new SOA Performance Director and Bill Melville (TAY) the new SOA Development Director.  They will be easing into their jobs over the next few weeks.  With Marsela and Bill joining the SOA Board, this brings our complement of Directors up to full strength.  It also gives us Board members from seven different clubs from across Scotland with a valuable mix of backgrounds and experience.
