Jessica Boughey, our CDO since November 2023, sadly left in May 2024 as she found a new position at the Highland Council that suited her personal circumstances and career path well. As a Board we were delighted with her initiative, commitment and support over the 6 months she spent with us, and we are sure many groups in Strathnairn have benefitted and agree. Her detailed and strategic work has contributed towards implementing our Community Action Plan and generated legacies that we build upon. Her performance assessments were very favourable, and it is with genuine regret that we said goodbye to her. We wish Jessica all the best for the future, and look forward to bringing in a new CDO or multiple part-time CDOs soon to continue this progress and community benefits.
