Information on the Public Appointments Process - Statement
Each of Scotland's public bodies, including the Commission, operates under the leadership of a board and a chair. The recruitment for these roles is conducted by the Scottish Government in accordance with statute.
The public appointments process for a new chair for the Scottish Land Commission, alongside two new Commissioners, commenced in September. The selection process remains ongoing.
We anticipate receiving updates on the outcome of this process in due course. You can find more information on the Scottish Government’s public appointments process here or by email at public.appointments@gov.scot or on freephone 0300 244 1898.
