A&B Scotland Business Development Manager, Jeanie Scott, has been selected as the 2011/12 Creative Scotland Fellow on the Clore Leadership Programme.
Since 2004 the Clore Leadership Programme has awarded Fellowships to outstanding individuals drawn from organisations in areas ranging from archives to theatre production, and including visual and performing arts, film and digital media, heritage, creative industries, museums, libraries and cultural policy. The Programme aims to shape emerging creative leaders through in-depth, tailored learning and includes residential courses, an extended placement, individually-selected training, mentoring and coaching. Fellows have unparalleled access to senior cultural leaders and to extensive networks.
The Fellowship takes place over an intensive seven month period, plus an introductory two-week residential course. In addition, Fellows have the option of applying to undertake a three-month research project, once they have completed the rest of their programme, which is supervised by a higher education institute and funded by the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
Jeanie will be the first Fellow to be supported by a Creative Scotland Fellowship, established to support an exceptional candidate who lives and works in Scotland and is committed to developing their career as a cultural leader in Scotland.
