Retirement of Fiona Dalziel
The Association would like to congratulate Fiona Dalziel (Assistant General Secretary) on her retirement at the end of September. Fiona was appointed as a Professional Officer in 2007 and during her time with the Association Fiona held the position of Deputy General Secretary and, in 2014, Acting General Secretary. Fiona was our lead casework officer and represented members at all levels throughout Scotland. She had the ability to remain calm and focussed at all times and used her vast experience to support members often through extremely difficult situations. Fiona will be missed by the hundreds of members she has supported over the years and all the staff at the SSTA Office. We wish her every success and good health in retirement.
