What Happened
Women in Property (WiP) has announced the appointment of Danielle Miller as the new chair for its Central Scotland branch for the term 2026-27. Miller, who serves as the associate director for stakeholder engagement at Built Environment – Smarter Transformation (BE-ST), will assume her role in March 2026, succeeding the current chair.
Why It Matters
Miller’s leadership is significant as she aims to enhance gender parity within the built environment sector. In her statement, she expressed her commitment to fostering an inclusive industry and emphasized the importance of engaging male allies in this initiative. The Central Scotland committee, composed entirely of member volunteers, will continue to support core initiatives such as Schools Outreach, Inclusion, and Mentoring programs.
What’s Next
Under Miller’s guidance, the committee plans to focus on creating a supportive environment that encourages participation from all genders. The upcoming year will see efforts directed towards educating male colleagues on how they can contribute to improving gender balance in the industry. This approach aims to cultivate a more collaborative and understanding workplace culture.
