Scotland’s housing associations and co-operatives are at the heart of Scotland, working with tenants, councils, charities, government, and partners to create thriving communities.
Council leaders will join us at our Annual Conference, taking place on 6 & 7 June, to discuss examples of joint working between housing associations and local authorities to deliver affordable homes and tackle homelessness.
Our session with Glasgow’s Cllr Susan Aitken and Scottish Border’s Cllr Euan Jardine will explore how we can do more to harness our shared resources.
Susan Aitken, Leader of Glasgow City Council
Susan Aitken was elected as Leader of Glasgow City Council in 2017, forming Glasgow’s first ever SNP-led City Government. She was first elected as a councillor for the Langside ward in 2012, following a career in public policy and communications. Susan was reappointed to a second term as Council Leader following the 2022 Scottish Local Government elections.
Under her leadership, Glasgow has hosted the UN Climate Summit COP26. She was awarded Scottish Local Politician of the Year in 2019 for her work to end historic gender pay discrimination and Scottish Council Leader of the Year in 2021 for her leadership on climate issues.
Susan was selected as one of 40 global city leaders for the Bloomberg Harvard City Leadership Initiative Class of 2023.
