implementation of strategy, I believe that we can continue to improve the customer experience for ourcommunity of Scottish CMI Members.John Handling CMgr FCMII moved to Dundee in 2004 on completion of my army service and immediately joined the TaysideBranch of the CMI having been a member for two years. I took over as Chair of the Branch andoversaw the transition to a Scottish Branch through the previous Scottish Board. I am a great believerin continuous professional development and was awarded Chartered Manager status in May 2009then upgraded to Fellow of the Institute in 2011.

I have helped shape, develop and implement strategies to improve both peopleand the organisation and believe that these skills would enable me to contribute in a meaningful andactive way to support the growth and relevance of the CMI. As a professional membershiporganisation, the CMI has much to offer and further enhancing its visibility amongst businesses andindividual managers represents a key opportunity to strive for continued relevance and value as amark of a professional manager and building knowledge and practice networks.I have lead and managed a Learning and Development Department where significant transformationwas required and strategic manager on the Operational aspects of reforming the Scottish Fire &Rescue Service during 2012 to move towards implementing a significant change programme during2013. People are always at the centre of my thinking on organisational development, fairness,diversity and equality and I am tenacious in my commitment to promoting these values andcontinuous development. I have been in continuous study for many years, hold an MBA, and amcurrently studying for an MSc HRM. If successful, I will promote and drive forward the CMI agenda forthe benefit of all members.Liz Hoskin MCMIMy involvement in working with schools and colleges in Scotland would be very helpful in theeducation engagement that CMI want to be involved in as we participate in the Employabilitypartnerships and also run sector specific programmes for school leavers. I am an effective connectorand influencer who can generate an interest in any events we wish to host and also have links with avariety of networks e.g. The Entrepreneurial Exchange, Scottish Women in Business, Chamber ofCommerce and I frequently speak at events on the subject of customer service, sales and networking.Helen MacDonald MCMI through my demanding role as NHS Highland Community Pharmacy Business Manager(notwithstanding current roles also as NHS Highland Flu Vaccine Coordinator, Secretary tothe Local Intelligence Network and Pharmacy Practices Committee); through my volunteer work as Assistant Leader and Marketing and Communications Adviserfor Gilrguiding Inverness-shire, where girls and young women are encouraged to beempowered, discover and grow through the largest all girl organisation in the UK, enablingstrength and confidence in building tomorrow's leaders and managers; highlight remote and rural business issues in a large geographical, but sparsely populatedarea, to enable consideration of these in the decision making process; and carry out myduties whilst bearing in mind the lessons I have learned in life. I promise to enable better led, better managed organisations by enthusiastically living thevision, mission and objectives of the Chartered Management Institute ; Undertake to continueto develop myself professionally, keeping up to date CPD at all times; and Never to loosesight of who I am. I have a proven ability of team working quantified by reaching the finals of NationalManagement Team of the Year Awards 2012 in London and it would be a privilege if I werenominated as a Member of the Scottish CMI Board and be of service to fellow managers andleaders in my area and beyond.
Lesley Martin MCMIHow much more might we grow our economy if we had excellent management underpinningScotland’s businesses? This and similar questions are central to my work as Edinburgh’s EconomicStrategy manager. I am an experienced local government manager with an MBA and previous Boardexperience, and a CMI member since 2005. I have long experience of developing strategy, measuringperformance, and working with the business community and partnerships. My skillset includes events,research, developing networks and managing budgets. I am delighted to see CMI refreshing itsstructures and would love to have the chance to shape its new growth strategy.Gail Marzetti CMgr MCMII have 30 years of varied management experience taking progressively senior roles within the field ofinternational development. I am currently a senior civil servant with the Department for InternationalDevelopment working on the application of research and evidence to improve effectiveness. Mycareer which has included nine years of overseas work in Africa and Latin America has given me astrong appreciation of good management, which I have promoted as skill which can be learned,honed and improved rather than being intrinsic. I would promote the CMI to deepen its role as theuniversal custodian of management best practice in the UK, lobby for management to be valued ashighly as technical and policy skills and embed standards and norms management across the civilservice.John Pickering CMgr FCMIHaving spent the last 17 years of my career at senior management level and during that time seenmanagement roles of seniors; peers and reports executed to varying degrees of success and failure Ihave developed a passion for the science of management. In particular I am an avid supporter ofstructured and targeted training in this area. All too often people are promoted into management bydefault with no real consideration of their “management” ability. Particularly in my chosen industrysector people carry the label of manager, yet have little or no formal management training orqualification. I am of the opinion that being a member of a CMI regional board will offer me anopportunity to not only impart my own experience and knowledge but also influence and shape futuremanagement training and selection, whereby promoting both CMI and the structure in place todevelop and award the qualification of Chartered Managers; something I truly believe industry needs.Catherine Sutherland FCMIManagers and leaders today face an increasing number of challenges. For those (including myself)living in the Highlands & Islands of Scotland there are additional geographical challenges such asisolation and lack of support networks. Becoming a board member of the CMI would enable me toprovide a voice for the region and forge closer and stronger links with our peers across Scotland. As atraining provider we currently work with more than 100 managers and leaders across the area andaim to create a Hub which can be used to reach out and provide support to managers and leaderseradicating the isolation many experience. Through my contact with these managers and leaders Ihave amassed a wealth of new and innovating ideas and am keen to share these and use my positionon the board to help shape and define the future of the CMI. Passionate about learning anddevelopment I feel the CMI provides a vibrant source of support for managers plugging the gapbetween academic and vocational qualifications. With over 20 years operational managementexperience and a Postgraduate in Leadership and Management I feel I am able to demonstrateknowledge of theory and vast experience of how it works in practice. I also enjoy lecturing at the localuniversity on Business Management. In conclusion I would very much welcome the opportunity andhonour of becoming a CMI board member and would work hard to provide a voice for the Highlands &Islands.Patricia Watson MCMII am a proven team builder and have worked in senior management for a number of years. I currentlyhold a directorship in one company and am head of finance and operations in another. I am a mentorfor my professional accountancy body and have a particular interest in women in management. I havebeen a member of CMI since 2011 and have enjoyed attending events in Aberdeen and Edinburgh. Iwould like to sit on the Scotland board in order to contribute towards promoting the organisation andall its component parts because I think that there is a lack of investment in management trainingandthat the CMI adds value. I also think that the CMI does not have a high profile in Scotland and I wouldlike the opportunity to play a part in raising that profile. If elected I would bring enthusiasm,commitment and flexibility as my main attributes.
