CILIP in Scotland President, Jeanette Castle, used her welcome to delegates at CILIPS Annual Conference on the 2nd June to launch a £10,000 professional development fund to support members in Scotland.
From 1st July members in Scotland will be able to apply to the Fund for assistance in attending conferences and events.
Ms Castle said that the fund “is a demonstration of CILIP in Scotland’s clear commitment to the objectives of the CILIP Professional Knowledge and Skills Base.”
Funding for the initiative is being sourced from accrued profits earned from CILIPS Annual Conference and supplier exhibition. Full details of how the fund will be allocated and the criteria for applications will be released later this month.
