Hello everyone and welcome to the Insurance Institute of Chelmsford and South Essex (IICSE).

I am very excited and proud to be taking on the role of President for the forthcoming year. I have been on IICSE Council since 2016, first starting out with the Young Professionals Group and then taking on the Fundraising Coordinator role alongside spending the last two years as Deputy President. 

Firstly, I would like to thank Paul Hill for all of his hard work over the past two years during his Presidency. I would also like to thank all our council members who very kindly volunteer their own time to help keep our local institute running smoothly and efficiently. We are always happy to welcome anyone who wants to volunteer on council, so if this is something of interest please let myself or one of the council members know and we can look to get you on board. 

Over the next 12 months, I am looking forward to continuing to deliver a comprehensive CPD programme. IICSE currently has in excess of 4,500 members so whilst we do endeavour to accommodate for everyone, if any members have any topics or subjects you would find helpful whether it be soft skills or technical, please let me know as we are here to support you and offer events that are going to beneficial.
