For the first time in ten years, the Employee Share Ownership Centre is set to return to The Royal Yacht Hotel, Jersey for its annual employee share plans and trustees conference on Thursday, 18 March 2027.

The Centre is delighted that Senator Elaine Millar, Minister for Social Security for the Government of Jersey will give a keynote speech focusing on the Island's drive for workplace savings and pensions.

Her keynote will be complimented by a programme of talks from expert speakers, to update trustees and employee share scheme professionals.

The programme is drafted to provide relevant technical information, which we trust will be acceptable as counting towards your Continuing Professional Development or Continuing Competence.

Elaine qualified as a Scottish solicitor in 1987. After working with two of Scotland’s biggest commercial law firms, she moved to The Royal Bank of Scotland in 1993 as a corporate/commercial lawyer. She joined The Royal Bank of Scotland International Group (now NatWest International) in Jersey in 1996 and ultimately held the position of Director of Legal and Regulatory Services, with responsibility for the Group’s legal, compliance and company secretarial functions in its four jurisdictions.

Elaine returned to private practice in 2002, joining Mourant du Feu & Jeune, where she later became a partner after qualifying as a Jersey lawyer in 2005. She had a diverse practice, including mergers and acquisitions, financial services regulation, data protection and competition law.

After a period as a consultant, she was appointed as the Viscount in 2015 and was the first woman to hold that office. The Viscount is the executive officer of the Jersey Courts, with wide responsibilities, including the enforcement of court orders, the administration of insolvency proceedings, the provision of the coroner service and the management of assets seized under Proceeds of Crime and civil asset recovery legislation.

Elaine was elected as one of four deputies for the district of St John, St Lawrence and Trinity in June 2022. She was appointed as Minister for Social Security and Assistant Minister for Treasury and Resources in July 2022. Elaine also took on the roles of Assistant Chief Minister with responsibility for Financial Services (from May 2023) and Vice-Chair of the States Employment Board (from November 2023). In January 2024, Elaine was appointed as the Minister for Treasury and Resources and as Assistant Minister for External Relations and Financial Services.

In June 2026, Elaine was elected as Senator, and in July, was appointed as Minister for Social Security and Assistant Minister for External Relations and Financial Services, as well as Assistant Minister for Housing.
