CIPFA Wales – a new region?
A proposal from the CIPFA Wales Cymru Executive Forum to formally recognise Wales as a CIPFA region in its own right has been endorsed by CIPFA Council subject to a ballot of CIPFA members and students in Wales.

The ballot will be held in mid-August. Ahead of that we’re asking members and students to tell us how they think regional activities for Wales can best be delivered to support their needs.

Information on the proposals, their benefits and how to comment can be found here.
