(6) PRESIDENT’S RETIRING ADDRESS - The Vice-President invited the President to address the meeting. The President’s speech was as follows: Welcome to the 171st Annual General Meeting of the Educational Institute of Scotland in Perth. Thanks to the Provost of Perth and Kinross Council Dennis Melloy for his kind words of welcome on behalf of the council, the citizens of the Fair City and of Perth and Kinross. I am honoured and delighted to have served as EIS President this year and hope that I have represented you well. I trust that members of Executive Committee and Council feel that their voices have been heard at our meetings and that all delegates, should they be speaking for the first or, indeed for some delegates, for the last time in our debates over the next 3 days, will be made to feel welcome and their contributions, however short, are valued by everyone. I must thank the staff and officials at HQ for their patience, encouragement and above all their support which has been given to me over the last 2 years. Until you are involved at this level in the union, you are unaware of the vast amount of work which is undertaken by everyone in Moray Place and the EIS area Offices, on a daily basis, all the paperwork they have to prepare, the travel arrangements to be made etc. Thank you to my Local Authority, Falkirk Council and Children’s Services, in particular, for their overwhelming support in backing my nomination for Vice President and President and giving the Local Association the facility time for me to carry out these roles. Thanks to Falkirk Local Association for the Nomination and supporting me through the last 2 years. I would like to thank the recent Past Presidents for their help and advice and to Tommy Castles, Pat Flanagan and Nicola Fisher as fellow Office Bearers for their support and help over the last 2 years. May I take this opportunity to wish Nicola and Alison my very best wishes in their year of Office as President and Vice President for session 2017-18. 4 Most of all I would like to thank my family and friends for putting up with me through these times – for being there for me – propping me up when I was doubting myself, for putting up with my full - on diary - having to cancel nights out with friends at the last minute. I am grateful to my parents who believed in giving the family a good solid education and supported us through school and college. We were lucky to have been coming through the system when we did and that we were able to stay on in school until 6th year, to come through the comprehensive system, to access higher education with grants and to have the opportunity to further our education through life - long learning opportunities. My daughter Heather, my son in law Stuart and my Grand daughter Skye Rose also deserve my thanks for their support and also for looking after the house and the dog whilst I have been away. Ian, my husband is now going to feel so embarrassed that I am thanking him from the platform, but without his love, his understanding, his backing and his support I could not have taken on the role of President of the EIS. My sincere thanks to everyone. My year as National President has passed very quickly and most of that due to the busy schedule unfolding over the year. One event, however, has dominated the headlines since we last gathered in Dundee and that is of course Brexit and its consequences.
