Welcome to the council

Welcome to the council induction sessions are run for new employees to meet senior management, learn more about our organisation and our plans for the future.

On 22 January Lesley Brown (Depute Chief Executive - Children and Communities) and Councillor Shamin Akhtar (Depute Leader of the Council) met with colleagues representing a wide variety of services in Haddington's Corn Exchange and responded to excellent, thought-provoking questions. Earlier in the session Chief Executive, Laurence Rockey shared his thoughts on the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats facing our organisation.

The next session is on Thursday 14 May 2026 at John Muir House, available to book on learnPro by using the apply for events button at the bottom of your learnPro homepage. A great opportunity for new employees to learn more about our council and ask questions.
