Our programme is unrivalled in New Zealand for the depth of insight and level of practical application it provides. The chartered designation shows that you have the knowledge, skills and experience to take on a job with significant and wide-ranging responsibilities. In larger organisations, this may be within the governance secretariat, governance team or as part of a professional services team. In medium and smaller companies this may be in the sole governance or secretarial role. 'For purpose' not-for-profit organisations are also rapidly professionalising and have a need for dedicated governance resources. If you are an accountant or lawyer, the knowledge gained from the programme will be invaluable in providing comprehensive advice to your clients.
By obtaining the designation of Chartered Governance Professional and/or Chartered Secretary you gain entry not only as a member to the Chartered Governance Institute New Zealand but are also a member of the global organisation, Chartered Governance Institute.
The Chartered Governance Institute is incorporated and governed by Royal Charter. Royal Charters are awarded to bodies that work in the public interest and can demonstrate pre-eminence, stability, and permanence in their field. The Chartered Governance Institute was granted Royal Charter by the King Edwards VII in 1902.
The Royal Charter continues to signal the vital role that we play in developing and supporting governance professionals. Members who complete their professional qualification can refer to themselves as ‘chartered’ – a by-word for professional competence.
