Chartered Institute of Management Accountants

26 October 2005

180 business leaders and representatives of the education community are expected to attend this year’s forthcoming President’s Luncheon, a ceremonial celebration of CIMA’s success in Scotland. 

CIMA President, Ian Christison, will make his first appearance at the event and will publicly highlight the accomplishment and recognition of Scotland’s strategic significance and CIMA’s place in it. 

In Scotland alone, CIMA has over 5,000 members and students – 350 of whom are members at Chief Executive level or have directorial responsibilities.

The luncheon will take place at Our Dynamic Earth - The Biosphere, Edinburgh on 8 November.  Often described as one of Edinburgh’s most exciting attractions, the event is bound to be a high profile occasion on Edinburgh’s business calendar.
