scottisharchitecture.com

The RIAS have announced that Mary Wrenn has resigned as Chief Executive of the Royal Incorporation of Architects Scotland and will leave in August after more than two years in the post. Mary said she was pleased to have been a “catalyst for change” in the RIAS, taking the lead in creating a new corporate identity, developing a 5-year Strategic Plan and consolidating the RIAS's financial position. An Honorary Fellow of the RIBA and former Director of the Royal Society of Architects in Wales, Mary commented: “In my appointment the RIAS recognised the need to modernise both its internal procedures and its external profile. I am pleased to have played a key role in the first stages of this transformation. For personal reasons I feel that I cannot commit to the length of time required to steering the next phase of change for the RIAS, and it is for this reason that I have decided to hand on the baton at this stage.
