ICAS local Area Networks updated for 2022

  • LinkedIn (opens new window)
  • Twitter (opens new window)
By ICAS

26 January 2022

  • Scottish Area Networks reshaped in light of Member feedback
  • Edinburgh and Lothians becomes Scotland East
  • Glasgow and West becomes Scotland West

The Scottish ICAS local Area Networks have been refreshed and reorganised in response to Member feedback.

The Area Networks act as local links between ICAS and its Members and Students in Scotland and London, supporting the communication of key initiatives, relaying feedback and delivering a calendar of exclusive events.

The organisation of the networks was recently refreshed and reorganised in a move that aims to ensure they are more effective at covering and representing all of Scotland and are better aligned with local-authority areas and ICAS Council’s Electoral Area seats.

The decision to reorganise was driven by feedback from ICAS Members who at times reported confusion over which Network covered their locality.

The changes affect the previous Lothian and Borders Area Network, which becomes Scotland East, and Glasgow and West, which becomes Scotland West, with Grampian, Highlands and London all unchanged.
