Find out about Derek's experience as an ICAEW Council member.
ICAEW’s membership represents a broad constituency (some would say a “broad church”) and Council needs to properly reflect the whole of our membership. A diverse Council, containing people of different ages, genders, ethnicities, perspectives and with a range of professional experience gained in different parts of the World makes better quality decisions than if it were made up of a narrower demographic. Please don’t assume that you don’t have the skills and experience required to fully contribute. None of us joined Council as the perfect Council member. We have all learnt on the job. In fact, joining Council is almost like doing an MBA over 4 years – perhaps we ought to charge for it!
Derek Blair, Past Chair of Council
