Chief Executive Michael Izza has given notice that there will be by-elections to the ICAEW council in three constituencies – South Eastern, Staffs, Salop and Wolverhampton, and West of England.
That means we’re looking for three new council members to help shape the future of ICAEW. So if you would like to influence our strategy, and are willing to represent the members in your constituency at the highest level, why not stand for election?

Rewards and responsibilities of being a council member
As a member of council, your opinions will feed into ICAEW’s strategy and you will be involved in debates on the big issues facing the profession. Being on the ICAEW council is not a role for the shy and retiring type – you will be expected to:
- Represent your district society at council level
- Update your constituency on matters discussed and agreed by council
- Attend six council meetings each year
Being on council also has its rewards. You will have the opportunity to:
- Raise your profile by networking with influential figures within the finance profession
- Influence stakeholders at a senior level
- Develop leadership and public speaking skills
- Gain strategic insight and influence within ICAEW
- Take the first step toward becoming ICAEW president
The elected term in South Eastern is three years, but the vacancies in Staffs, Salop and Wolverhampton and West of England are for one year.
