Speaking at the Society’s 119th Annual General Meeting, she outlined her theme for the year, saying she aims to highlight CAs and member companies as “Difference Makers”.
Craigan said: “It is a real honour and privilege to take on this role and I am genuinely excited about the year ahead.
“Our society has a strong focus on supporting our members and ensuring their voices are heard clearly and effectively. We are positive about Northern Ireland, its people, its business community and its prospects.
“We know that Northern Ireland punches well above its weight – and that resilience and determination are part of who we are.”
She pointed to the contribution of CAs in the private, public and voluntary spheres, describing members as trusted leaders who enable organisations and communities to progress.
Craigan also stressed that CAs have a key part to play in advancing NI’s economic objectives and in helping the region realise its potential.
She added: “Behind many of Northern Ireland’s success stories, you will find a CA’s helping to make things happen.
“Helping businesses to grow, making organisations succeed, creating opportunities and helping communities to thrive. I want to celebrate the difference that our members are making every day with their clients, with their organisations and in the local community.”
