A Scottish Housing Day debate, organised by Lynn McCulloch and Mary Taylor, hosted by the University of Stirling, is to be held in memory of Alan Ferguson. Scottish Housing Day will take place on 15 September and will focus on the theme of climate change
Discussing Alan, the debate organisers said: "Alan Ferguson was a leading figure in building the status and increasing the influence of the housing profession in Scotland. He was an inspiration to many, an outstanding policy analyst and strategist whose work was always based on sound values and a commitment to social justice. The housing profession is full of people who have benefited from Alan’s advice, help and support, over many years, and we miss his contribution and his company."
