CIPFA and the AAT
Each year, the original sponsoring bodies of the
Association of Accounting Technicians (AAT)
have the opportunity to put forward three of their
members to sit on the council of the AAT. The AAT
greatly appreciates the contribution CIPFA members
make to the council; indeed five have gone on to be
presidents of the AAT.
CIPFA’s Nominations Committee has the
pleasure of choosing the nominees each year, and
readers will recall the article in February’s issue
Alison Sweeting Rachel Banfield
inviting members to express an interest in being
chosen. Sarah Wood and Mike Evans, who have
been representing the Institute for the last three
years, have been invited to continue for 2009/10;
Anne Britton, who also has been a nominee for
three years, has stood down in favour of new blood.
We are enormously grateful to Anne for her work
with the AAT. The committee has invited Mark
McBride, Business Support Manager at Belfast City
Council, to take her place.
