Today is Governance Professionals' Day! A day to recognize the important role our professional community plays in ensuring the integrity and evolution of good governance across all sectors. Whether corporate, non-profit or public sectors, boards provide critical oversight and accountability. That work is often supported by highly skilled and knowledgeable governance professionals whose job it is to stay ahead of rapidly changing landscapes such as AI, ESG, audit and risk and human resources. You may not see them named in the press release or in the centre of the photo but, like the base of an iceberg, they are what makes the foundation solid. Happy Governance Professionals Day! #governanceprofessionalsday #Governance
Who are governance professionals? They hold various titles from: Chief Governance Officer, Corporate Secretary, Corporate Counsel, Executive Director, Head of Compliance, Risk, Legal, and they are responsible for: implementing governance policies and procedures, monitoring compliance, supporting the Board and its committee meetings and processes, fostering a culture of transparency and accountability and managing the space between the Board and Management…among many other key contributions. They play a crucial role in ensuring that an organization is operating in an efficient, ethical, and compliant manner and that the organization is following leading governance practices to protect it from potential risks. Governance professionals have undergone a remarkable evolution over the last 30 years and GPC recognizes the key role that they play in organizations across all sectors of Canada’s economy.
