In welcoming the appointment, Chairman of Campaigners Scotland, Rev Vince Jennings, said that in Liz they had found someone with "the enthusiasm and skills which fitted exactly the needs of the organisation at this time.  The Council are looking forward to working with her at this exciting stage of development."
