Angela Leitch CBE was appointed to the SPA Board in June 2024. She has worked at a senior level in local authorities for over two decades and has a thorough understanding of the context within which councils and their partners continue to operate.
After eight years as Chief Executive of East Lothian Council, she was appointed as Chief Executive to the newly formed Public Health Scotland in November 2019, which gave her a deeper insight and experience of working at a national level in Scotland. Angela stepped down from this role in March 2023.
