The SDF is pleased to welcome new Regional Co-chairs – Janet Milne and Chris Jones.

Janet Milne – Organisation and Staff Development (OSD) Scotland

At University of Strathclyde (Glasgow), Janet provides learning and development advice and guidance to departments and individuals.

Janet has developed and delivered many of the development sessions on the general training programme, and provides bespoke Organisation Development interventions to departments.

All this via a route that also included work in art galleries, retail and offices

Chris works across the university with academic colleagues and departments within Professional Services. [Read more]
