"With BSA Scotland, our intention is to aim high. We are ambitious for ourselves, for people who stammer, therapists, and parents. Through drawing together the skills, abilities and talents of our members, we hope to reach out to everyone across Scotland whose life is affected by stammering to offer the support, information and fellowship that has made such a difference to our own lives."
Frank Geoghegan-Quinn, inaugural Convener, October 2004
