The IoD Yorkshire Region has almost 2,500 members with active branches in South, East, West and North Yorkshire. A lively programme of local and regional events are held for members and guests around the county.
We represent directors and equivalent status members from a wide range of business disciplines, drawn largely from the SME sector.

All members are welcome to attend events at any branch.
• You do not need to be a director to be a member of the IoD - partners, senior managers of larger firms and Sole Traders of some standing are also welcome.
• Non Members may attend IoD events at an enhanced rate, prior to joining.
As a worldwide association of members, the Institute of Directors (IoD) provides a professional network that reaches into every corner of the business community. Our membership spans the whole spectrum of international business leadership, from the largest public companies to the smallest private firms.

Membership of the IoD is individual - each member joins the IoD in his or her capacity as a director. Members receive a variety of benefits including information, advice, training, conferences and publications to help them maximise their potential. They also have an influential organisation on their side - representing their concerns to government - and at their side - providing professional business support, wherever it is needed.

The annual Director of the Year Awards are our showcase event -
