What makes a professional community truly resilient? It's the balance of learning, leadership, and giving back. Across Perth and Dundee, we grow together- through CPD, connection and a shared commitment to causes which give back to the community. I’m honoured to serve as your President and to represent such a vibrant professional network.

It’s a privilege to work alongside a fantastic Council team, all of whom volunteer their time and expertise to support our members across the insurance and financial services sectors. Whether you’re studying for qualifications, seeking professional development, or simply looking to connect with peers in the industry, we're here for you. I encourage you to follow us on LinkedIn to keep up-to-date with our upcoming webinars, Fast Track Programme, workshops, and social events. 

In my role in Risk and Governance at Aviva Insurance, I’m particularly passionate about promoting a culture of resilience, responsibility, and continuous learning. This year, I aim to build on the excellent work of our outgoing President, Daley Smith, by continuing to enhance the involvement of PFS members and ensuring a balanced and engaging CPD programme that meets the needs of both CII and PFS professionals. I also look forward to introducing more content with a risk management focus—an area that is increasingly vital in today’s evolving landscape.

Community inclusion is at the heart of my presidency. We're proudly supporting Meningitis Now  as one of our chosen charities this year, and alongside our various Institute events, I’ll be lacing up my trainers and running to raise awareness and funds. You can follow my journey and support the cause via my JustGiving page: Ruth Glynn is fundraising for Meningitis Now.
