Introducing the new ICAS Office Bearers for 2021/22

By ICAS

20 May 2021

Newly appointed President, Deputy President and Vice President introduce themselves to ICAS Members and Students and share thoughts on their priorities for the year ahead.

The appointments of the three new ICAS Office Bearers for 2021/22 were confirmed at the ICAS AGM on 30 April.

Former Deputy President, Bruce Pritchard CA, has taken over as President from Catherine Burnet CA, Indy Hothi CA is now Deputy President and Clive Bellingham CA has been appointed to the role of Vice President for 2021/22.

Here they share thoughts on what it means to be appointed as an ICAS Office Bearer and outline the key themes and priority topics they'll focus on during their terms in office.

Introducing your new ICAS President - Bruce Pritchard CA

As Bruce explains in his video below, he, Indy and Clive have collaborated to devise a suite of themes upon which they'll concentrate during their time in office. These themes are mainly linked to issues that came to prominence during 2020: the impact of COVID-19, equality, diversity and inclusion, and environmental and social-governance matters.

Each year, the President is asked to provide a number of themes that will run through their presidency. This year, I've invited Indy and Clive to join me in devising a suite of themes that will gel together and hopefully provide guidance not only for this year but for the coming years too.

During his term in office, Bruce will place particular focus on how COVID-19 has impacted ICAS and the profession, considering specifically the ways in which ICAS Members and Students can learn, grow and advance together based on shared experiences.

As we emerge from the COVID pandemic, we must grasp the opportunity to build a sustainable future for the profession by maximising the efficiencies we achieved while working in a virtual world.

Bruce's second priority for 2021/22 will be ensuring that ICAS remains at the forefront of shaping the business communities of the future.

As we move forward towards the recovery phase, we must work together and progress this positive approach, taking the lessons we've learned from the pandemic experience, we must work to shape the business community of the future.
