Former NCASS Chair talks about ICAEW Council 22 February 2015

John Howarth, currently Chair of ICAEW Student Council, explains the benefits of members nominating themselves for election to ICAEW Council in 2015.

John is a member of Northern Society of Chartered Accountants and a past chairman of NCASS (Northern Chartered Accountant Students’ Society) and he works for the Teesside firm Anderson Barrowcliff.

John is one of the current ICAEW Council members who are featured in a short film titled ‘Why you should stand for Council’.  They talk about the importance of their role on Council and what they have got out of it on a professional and personal level.

Whilst there is no election in the Northern constituency in 2015, ICAEW members in other constituencies across the country are being urged to help shape the future of the profession by standing for ICAEW Council in the 2015 elections.
