In West Yorkshire and York, ICAEW has over 6,000 members, all fantastic ambassadors for the profession—from students and young members through to retired and life members.

Anna, Mike and Sam, ICAEW

We have groups of local active members (volunteers)—ICAEW chartered accountants, working in business, practice, charity, education and the public sector who contribute to and help deliver ICAEW strategy. They develop a diary of events and CPD to engage local members. Each year, a President is elected who, together with the volunteers, and working in partnership with ICAEW, helps raise the profile of the profession with key stakeholders. Our local active members enjoy enhanced networking and professional development opportunities.

“Hi I’m Anna Pickup and I am the current President of ICAEW West Yorkshire and York. Joining me at the Yorkshire Accountancy Awards 2022 event is Mike Lewis (Deputy President), and Sam Tasker-Grindley (Vice President). We are very keen to engage with members locally, so please do come and say hi to us! We would really appreciate your views on how we can support you.”

We are always looking for more volunteers and new ideas, so if this sounds like something you would be interested in getting involved with, or finding out more, please reach out to one of us or email samantha.hipkins@icaew.com.
