These invaluable friendships will have contributed to Howard's outstanding turnout at his annual dinner at The Cutlers’ Hall in March. Despite treacherous snowy conditions over 300 guests battled the elements to attended the evening highlighting the dedication to the society and it's activities. This impressive attendance led to David Walsh commenting in the Sheffield Star that "Sheffield accountants know how to throw a bash!" Howard was dedicated to raising the profile of Sheffield, wanting visitors  to appreciate not only the local industry but also the greenery and parkland of the city. This dedication inspired the Sheffield Star to title their article;  "Counting on Howard to raise city's profile." Although Howard is stepping down as president he tells the Yorkshire Finance Leaders that he hopes to stay involved with the ICAEW nationally as well as in the local area.    [![Contact us](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/2442072/27ed3297-05cb-4553-843b-b5e5a88bcc03.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/2442072/27ed3297-05cb-4553-843b-b5e5a88bcc03)   Relevant articles  - [Yorkshire finance leaders July magazine](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/hubfs/Yorkshire%20Finance%20leaders%20July%202018.pdf) - [The Sheffield Star, counting on Howard to raise Sheffield's profile](https://www.thestar.co.uk/business/counting-on-howard-to-raise-sheffield-s-profile-1-9234016) - [East Midlands Chamber welcomes Shorts as new patron](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/east-midlands-chamber-welcomes-shorts-as-new-patron) - [Advisory Team of the Year winners at Yorkshire Accountancy Awards](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/advisory-team-of-the-year-winners-at-yorkshire-accountancy-awards)   ![author](https://blog.shorts.uk.com/hubfs/1678438830033-1.jpg) #### Jo Grant Jo is the Senior Marketing Manager at Shorts Chartered Accountants.
