We are absolutely thrilled that Government Minister Aileen Campbell MSP will be opening the World Community Development Conference in Dundee.
Aileen was appointed Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government in June 2018. Aileen grew up on her parents’ tenant farm. She started a career in publishing before her election to parliament, Aileen also worked for Nicola Sturgeon as a Parliamentary Assistant.
She was first elected to the Scottish Parliament in May 2007 as a list member for the South of Scotland. She was re-elected as the MSP for Clydesdale in May 2011 and appointed as Minister for Children and Young People and Minister for Public Health and Sport in May 2016.
The Scottish Government is a longstanding supporter of the association and is a national government champion for community development.
