Aug 2020: Steve Kerr - Chair
My introduction to Scotland’s Community Councils began as a member of a Commission established by the Secretary of State for Scotland. The Commission was established to recommend a concordat between the different levels of elected statutory bodies in Scotland and we met with Community Councils in every area of the country. (This gave me a valuable perspective that has aided the way I approach my work as a Community Councillor.) I subsequently became a member of Corstorphine Community Council for the past 12 years serving first as Treasurer and then as Chairperson. I firmly believe that Community Council’s need to change and adapt to be relevant and I would welcome the opportunity to be an agent of that change in Edinburgh
Ken Robertson - Secretary
I’ve been involved with Grange Prestonfield CC since 2018 and with EACC since late 2021.
My career background has been in commercial banking and in fund management; institutional and private client.
Aug 2020: Judy Wightman - Treasurer
I joined Ratho and District Community Council in about 1983 and was appointed Treasurer in April 1984 and subsequently chair in October 2014, having been de facto vice chair for quite a while! Ratho and District Community Council straddles two wards Almond and Pentland Hills. I was our representative on the Pentland Hills Neighbourhood Partnership and have been the Chair of the funding Panel since 2010 as well as being a member of the Area Board and Safety Panel until they were abolished. I have also represented our Community Council on the Almond Neighbourhood Partnership. I am at present also a member of the Checkpoint group, which looks at the Edinburgh Partnership Community Participation and Communications Strategies. I was elected Treasurer of the EACC in 2015
