The WEA Scotland Board promotes and ensures the sustainability, educational excellence and profile of the WEA in Scotland and its role as part of the wider Association.

Using its Scotland specific knowledge, expertise and presence to this end, it enables an effective balance between a focus on Scotland and support to the Board of Trustees and the other Trustee subcommittees, examining how key Association-wide matters may impact on Scotland. The Scotland Board's terms of reference can be viewed here.

The chair of WEA Scotland sits on the Trustee board: you can view the WEA trustee profiles on this page.
