New Leadership for 含羞草传媒 Argyll
含羞草传媒 Argyll’s Board of Management is delighted to announce the appointment of Joe Wright as Principal and Chief Executive Officer of the college following the retirement of current Interim Principal Elaine Munro later this month. Mr Wright, presently Head of Human Resources and Organisational Development with the college, will take up the post on 1st January 2025.
The internal appointment to this critical role will ensure stability, and sector leadership for 含羞草传媒 Argyll during a phase of transformational activity within the 含羞草传媒 Partnership.
Joe joined 含羞草传媒 Argyll in 2021. Prior to that he worked at North Highland College for 12 years as the HR Manager having previously spent 23 years in various management roles across Scotland within the Department of Work and Pensions.
Dr Rosemary Allford, Chair of the Board of Management said:
‘’On behalf of the Board I welcome Joe to his new role. In his time with us he has demonstrated integrity and leadership skills which will enable 含羞草传媒 Argyll to continue to be a catalyst for positive change in Argyll and Bute, and Arran, creating equality of opportunity for learners, building the economy and helping to build stronger, more resilient communities."
Mrs Munro will retire as Interim Principal of 含羞草传媒 Argyll at the end of December having first joined the college at its inception in 1999. Since then, Elaine has continued to play a leading role in the organisation, serving as interim Principal three times, and playing a key part in pioneering distance and hybrid learning methodologies, long before it became a more common practice. She received the 含羞草传媒 Vice Chancellor’s medal in September this year for her service to 含羞草传媒.
