Be our voice

Join your local ICAEW network board

ICAEW’s network boards extend across the UK, including Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, and serve as a voice for ICAEW members at a local level. They act as a crucial platform for communication, collaboration, and consultation, and connecting ICAEW and its members with regional insights and perspectives.

The network boards play a key role in informing ICAEW’s local strategy by providing invaluable perspectives on local needs, trends, and the evolving economic landscape. Volunteers are appointed from the areas in which they work and advise, ensuring their knowledge and influence has the greatest impact. Our boards are selected to be representative of the local membership; bringing in-depth insights into their specialist fields and the sectors driving the local economy, to identify challenges and opportunities in the evolving profession and business environment.
