Glasgow Council chief exec recognised in Queen’s Birthday Honours
Chief executive of Glasgow City Council Annemarie O’Donnell has been recognised in the Queen’s Birthday Honours for her services to local government.
Annemarie O’Donnell will be made an OBE. As well as recognising three decades of service in the city, rising to the lead officer role in 2014, the honour reflects the city’s role in hosting COP26 last year.
Other senior staff responsible for leading Glasgow’s role in hosting COP26 have also been recognised. Denise Hamilton, who led the city’s delivery team both during the planning of COP26 and during the event itself, is to be made an MBE along with Colin Best Edgar, senior responsible officer.
Ms O’Donnell said: “I think it is undeniable that, when somebody in a role like mine receives an honour, it reflects the work and the dedication of thousands of people.
“I’m very proud to play my part for my city and its communities; but I’m one of many more in schools, in social care and in depots, venues and offices all over the city.”
