Weekly update – John Lynch, Finance Director

Next week is our conference and we have a great attendance from delegates, speakers and sponsors yet again. I am really looking forward to attending some of the workshops and hearing from the speakers.  However we haven’t been resting on our laurels as Sue Keogh and I have been investigating possible venues for 2019 and beyond. We have been visiting various sites and negotiating on rates so watch this space for announcements.

It was good to attend the LLG Governance Awards two weeks ago and I was heartened by how many positive comments I heard from the lawyers from various authorities as to how much they valued their Democratic Services colleagues and the work that ADSO was doing. Long may that continue.

Some interesting discussions on the forum, one that caught my eye was scrutiny of council owned companies, which is very relevant at the moment with so many authorities having set up such companies.

Look forward to seeing those attending conference.

John
