New Principal Executive Council in place
The Principal Executive Council (PEC) is elected by members every two years, and the new PEC for the 2022-2024 term took office at the end of Accord's 2022 Conference on 20 May.
The PEC is the union’s governing body in between conferences and is responsible for the union’s staffing, membership and finance. It oversees negotiations between Accord and its principal employers and authorises the signing of collective agreements as appropriate.
All PEC members are employed by businesses the union negotiates with.
Neil Magill has taken on a second term as President and will be supported by the other 16 PEC members.
In a meeting following Conference, the PEC elected Allison Howie from Glasgow and Richard Joyce from Southampton as Vice Presidents.
Sheeba Hamid from Insurance & Wealth division in Copley, Halifax, was re-elected unopposed as the PEC lead on equality, diversity & inclusion issues.
We'd like to thank the outgoing members from the 2020 - 2022 term; Caroline Pollock, Helen Poole and Clare Buss, for all their hard work, support and dedication.
