The executive team who lead the Manchester district society of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW Manchester) have set out plans to boost the society’s links with businesses, academia and local members during the remainder of their tenure.
Rod Sellers and Michael Colin will serve respectively as president and chair of ICAEW Manchester until May 2023, working closely with Justin Kyriakou, ICAEW regional director for the North West.
During his term as president, Sellers will focus on developing wider and deeper links with Manchester’s business and academic communities. As chair, Mr Colin will concentrate primarily on increasing awareness among local ICAEW members of the wide range of services available to them.
As well as supporting members and speaking out on key issues of importance to the local economy, ICAEW Manchester has planned a series of virtual and in-person events for members and the wider business community. These range from specialist CPD sessions to discussions of wider professional and business issues.
Sellers said: “A key priority for us is to help ICAEW Manchester become a stronger voice across the local area. As chartered accountants we have a key role to play in assisting and leading businesses and civil society organisations as they recover from the pandemic and negotiate the many challenges ahead.”
Colin added: “It is vital that the make-up of our committee reflects the diversity of our local membership, and that everyone’s views are represented and heard.
“ICAEW Manchester committee members play a vital role in shaping our ongoing local programme of initiatives and activities. Joining the committee is a great opportunity to get involved and support fellow local members.”
