ANOTHER CANDIDATE ACHIEVES ECDL STANDARD
Congratulations to Tammy O'brien, of Shettleston Housing Association, who recently gained her ECDL. Tammy is also studying "Foundations for housing Professionals" at SHARE which she is on course to complete on October 5th 2010. Well done Tammy.
NEW TECHNOLOGY SURVEY
Would you like to help? SHARE are working with EVH to write a report on the use of new technology in Housing Management to improve efficiency. We would really like to get information from as many organisations in the housing sector as possible so I wonder if you could help, either by filling in the questionnaire or by directing it to the right person. You would need to know about your IT systems, both hardware and software.

Thanks for your help.

Here is another chance to hear Professor Duncan MacLennan speaking at SHARE's Annual Conference in March 2010. In the video he looks back at housing policy over the last twenty five years and focuses particularly on the impact of the community controlled sector before speculating where the challenges might be in the next five years.
THREE MORE GAIN AWARD
Three more housing association Committee members have gained SHARE’s Committee Members Qualification “Governance of Scottish Housing Associations”.
